| Participation in ACP | |||
| Ever | 2.8 (1.8, 4.4) | 3.1 (1.8, 5.5) | 2.7 (1.6, 4.9) |
| Never (Ref) | 1.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 |

| No (Ref) | 1.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 |
| Heard about or seen an ACP activity | |||
| Yes | 1.5 (1.0, 2.1) | 1.9 (1.3, 2.6) | 2.0 (1.1, 3.5) |
| No (Ref) | 1.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 |
Note. METs = metabolic equivalents; CI = confidence interval. Odds ratios were fully adjusted for health status, sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender, education, marital status), risk factors (smoking, alcohol use, overweight or obesity), and neighborhood environment variables (traffic interference, safety, aesthetics, walkability).
Based on sample distribution of metabolic-equivalent minutes per week.
Based on VIGITEL survey algorithm.
Based on International Physical Activity Questionnaire algorithm.
