95% CI = 95% confidence interval; exp.(b) exponential function of regression coefficient; exp.(95% CI) = exponential function of confidence interval. Generalized additive mixed model (GAMM) with Gamma variance and logarithmic link functions, for which exp.(b) is interpreted as the proportional increase in PA associated with a 1 unit increase in the predictor. GAMMs adjusted for working status, marital status, administrative-unit-level socio-economic status and walkability
