  1. A logistic regression model was used to calculate the odds ratios. Model 1 was adjusted for age and sex. Model 2 was adjusted for the same covariates used in model 1 plus self-reported health, smoking, educational background, subjective economic status, and depression status. Model 3 was adjusted for the same covariates used in model 2 plus social participation and living alone. MVPA: moderate-to-vigorous physical activity; CI: confidence interval
