  1. a Prevalence is age-standardized to Amsterdam total population. b Odds ratio is determined by age-adjusted logistic regression, the odds ratio is given for not-adhering to the recommended level of physical activity. CI confidence interval. Model 1 adjusted for age. Model 2. Model 1 plus further adjustment for level of education (high vs. low)
