and over reporting level of physical activity, based on their responses
to questions about the frequency, duration and intensity of their participation
in leisure time physical activity.
2. Data with sampling variability
(coefficient of variation) of greater than 33% were suppressed; therefore,
numbers in various aggregations may not add to the totals. |
