Note. *p < .05, **p < .01, ***p < .001, reference group: Stable low, TCI – Cloninger’s temperament and Character Inventory, persistent – characterized by high in persistence, overactive – high in novelty seeking and low in harm avoidance, dependent – highest attachment and dependence, passive – high in harm avoidance and low in novelty seeking, OR – Odds Ratio, CI – Confidence intervals, Stable high – high MVPA level at ages of both 31 and 46 years; Increased MVPA – low level at 31, but high at age 46; Decreased – high MVPA level at 31, but low at age 46; Stable low – low MVPA level at ages of both 31 and 46 years. a adjusted for perceived health at the age of 31, HSCL-25 presence and severity of anxiety and depressive symptoms at the age of 31, level of education, smoking status, alcohol consumption, marital status, and perceived health at the age of 46
