a Activity measured by International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short form. Categories Low, Medium, and High are based on nearest tertile cut-off points among controls.

b Random effects logistic regression with hospital considered as random effect, adjusted for age, height, weight, smoking status, smoking duration and educational level, and health insurance.
