The LSH study, Sweden. The association between physical activity levels and scale scores of mastery in a population with self-reported economic difficulties, estimated by linear regression analysis using low physical activity levels as reference level (ref). Unstandardised regression β-coefficients and 95% confidence intervals (CI), adjusted R²-values and standardised Beta coefficients are presented. Model I=Unadjusted analysis; Model II = Adjusted for sex and age; Model III = Adjusted for sex, age, smoking habits and food quality
