aIn Euros; bdifferences in incremental costs for the ICER and ICUR occur due to differences in the number of participants for which MET-hours/week and QALYs were available; ccalculated according to the formula ICER (or ICUR) = (Costsi-Costsc)/(Effecti-Effectc); dBased on the Dutch algorithm for the EuroQol (EQ-5D-3L) scores; edominant; fdominant based on WTP = €20,000 (i.e. savings larger than WTP); gdominated; hpreferred intervention depends on WTP (unknown for PA).
