n - number of individuals in the unweighted sample.

CI 95% - Confidence Interval 95%.

a

Prevalence in the weighted sample.

b

Intervals do not overlap, so we have (at least) 95% confidence that the true values are not equal.

c

Exclusion of individuals with ignored information.

d

Active individual with a physical activity practice of at least 30 min of low or moderate intensity physical activity daily, five or more days of the week, or practice of at least 20 min of vigorous intensity physical activity daily, 3 or more days of the week.
