Stepwise multivariable linear and logistic regression were performed as appropriate. Age, sex and education level were set as lockterm in both cases. Variables with empty cells were not included in the final model. PA: Physical Activity. a Brief Physical Activity Assessment score, range from 0–8. b Change in physical activity level: Improve insufficient or maintain sufficient physical activity level vs reduction or maintain insufficient physical activity level. c Geriatric Depression Scale Yesavage: range from 0–15 points (>5 points: depression). d Previous diagnosis of cognitive impairment or dementia or last Minicog© assessment <3. Minicog© range 0–5 (<3 positive screening for cognitive impairment).
