  1. 1Values were adjusted for age and study area (where appropriate). All P for heterogeneity across subgroups < 0.0001 for all.
  2. 2Least square means (standard deviations) among those participants who have that domain-specific physical activity.
  3. 3The proportion was calculated among working people only.
