Odds ratios are adjusted for all exposures simultaneously. 1Physical activity—insufficiently active “unhealthy”: <14 U of activity per week. 2Physical activity—sufficiently active “healthy”: 14+ U of activity per week. 3Alcohol—above recommended limits “unhealthy”: above recommended guidelines’ >21 U activity per week. 4Alcohol—within recommended limits “healthy”: within recommended guidelines’ ≤21 U activity per week.
