IMD, index of multiple deprivation, 1, least deprived, 5, most deprived. Model 1 simple multinomial logistic regression with PA none, some (>30 min brisk activity on 1–4 days) and meeting guidelines (5–7 days) as the dependent variable. Model 2 adjusts for sex, age, IMD and ethnicity. ‘All other’ treatment factors (been treated but still present/has not been treated/has come back/not certain).
