IMD, index of multiple deprivation; 5, most deprived, 1, least deprived model 1 is a simple binary logistic regression with having received physical activity (PA) advice (Y/N) as the dependent factor. Model 2 is a multivariable binary logistic regression model adjusting for all sociodemographic and treatment factors. ‘All other’ treatment factors (been treated but still present/has not been treated/has come back/not certain).
