The numbers in this table, for example 279/561 (49.7), indicated that 279 out of 561 adolescents with any psychiatric disorder were physically active one day a week or less, indicating that we had five missing values (n = 566). This applies to the entire table. Also, results from the Mann–Whitney-U test apply for the three values of the variable “physical activity”.
