Values are mean SD unless otherwise stated; N is the number with data available

aPhysical activity is individually calibrated where available (n = 351), otherwise group calibrated (n = 79)

bDifference between groups is adjusted for baseline values

cResults are expressed as ORs

dResults are expressed on the natural log-scale since original variable showed substantial skewness
