Notes: Physical activity was estimated by IPAQ-E score and grouped into three levels (low, moderate, high). Estimated marginal mean ± standard error of the mean is shown for the PGWB dimensions and the PGWB index. Univariate analysis of variance was performed between the three levels of physical activity according to the IPAQ-E groups (low, moderate, high). Model 1: IPAQ group + sex + age. Model 2: IPAQ group + sex + age + BMI. Model 3: IPAQ-E group + sex + age + BMI + hs-CRP.

Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; hs-CRP, high sensitivity C-reactive protein; IPAQ-E, International Physical Activity Questionnaire modified for the elderly; PGWB, Psychological General Well-Being.
