P-values for the statistical significance of the association between the weighted prevalence of PIA or PA and age groups assessed by the chi-squared test.
ARM: Armenia; AZB: Azerbaijan; BLR: Belarus; GEO: Georgia; KGZ: Kyrgyzstan; MDA: Moldova; TJK: Tajikistan; TUR: Turkey; UZB: Uzbekistan; PA: physical activity; PIA: physical inactivity.
Age ranges differed: in Turkey the youngest age group included respondents aged 15–17 years and oldest age group included respondents from 66 to 69 years; in Kyrgyzstan, the youngest age group was from 25 to 29 years and oldest age group was from 60 to 64 years; in Uzbekistan the oldest age group was from 60 to 64 years.
Statistically significant value for P < 0.05.
