  1. Low physical activity: lower than 600 MET-minutes per week, Moderate physical activity: at least 600 MET-minutes per week, High physical activity: at least 3,000 MET-minutes per week.
  2. Models are adjusted for the year.
  3. Reference: High physical activity in multinomial logistic.
  4. P values < 0.001.
  5. P-interaction for sex-obesity in low physical activity = 0.11; sex-obesity in moderate physical activity = 0.07; area-obesity in low physical activity = 0.5; area-obesity in moderate physical activity = 0.97.
  6. *P-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
