Covariance
Intercept − Age (10-year follow-up) .39
Intercept − Age2 (10-year follow-up) −.43

Residuals .58263

Note. All models were adjusted for gender (male, female), body mass index (BMI), birth cohort, country of residence, education, household’s ability to make ends meet, and participants’ attrition. “Age (10-year follow-up)” and “Age (10-year follow-up) squared” estimated the linear and quadratic changes in the engagement in physical activity over a 10-year period.
