*Odds of reporting ‘medium’ or ‘low’ QoL EQ5D scores compared with ‘high’ QoL scores where ‘high’, ‘medium’ and ‘low’ QoL was defined as scores=1, 0.5≤scores<1 and scores<0.5, respectively.

†Amount of physical activity performed each week quantified according to the Chief Medical Officer of England's recommendations.¹⁶

LTC, long-term condition; QoL, quality of life.
