  1. Models adjusted to evaluated associations of job stress, psychological distress and rank with physical activity among military personnel – results of the multivariate analysis by multiple linear regression via generalized linear models.
  2. Model 1: Simultaneous adjustment of the independent variables (job stress, psychological distress and rank).
  3. Model 2: Simultaneous adjustment of the independent variables with socio-demographic variables (age, schooling, income and marital status).
  4. β = Coefficient.
  5. aTS (total score) = OPA + SEL + PALL.
  6. bReference category.
  7. cOPA = occupational physical activity.
  8. dSEL = physical activity in sports/physical exercise during leisure.
  9. ePALL = other physical activities during leisure and in walking.
