Variables are expressed as mean value ± SD or relative frequencies.

P-values of the last column derived from stratified ANCOVA tests, after controlling for age and denote the significance of the association between physical activity status and smoking, dietary habits and depression status of the participants.

* P < 0.05 and ** P < 0.01 Bonferronni corrected probability values for the comparisons between physical activity groups and sedentary participants.
