  1. PA: Physical activity. CVD: cardiovascular disease. Multiple Linear Regression models adjusted for age (years), gender (men = 0, women = 1), social class (DUMMY variables, 0 = reference), 5 Primary Care Centers (DUMMY variables, 0 = reference), IMC (kg/m2), smoking (no = 0, yes = 1), controlled BP at baseline (no = 0, yes = 1), comorbidity (n = number of chronic disease), dependent variable of each model at baseline. Only significant models are shown
