a and b = values in the same row and subtable not sharing the same subscript (a or b) are significantly different at p < 0.05 in the two-tailed test of equality for column proportions (Bonferroni adjusted)
^cFour individuals did not disclose their gender;
^dThe question read - “How often, during the last 12-months, have you consumed alcohol to the extent that you have been intoxicated (drunk)? No test of equality for column proportions for the first category “Daily almost daily” due to too few participants
^e Inactive = almost completely inactive (e.g., primarily reading, watching television, watching movies, using computers or doing other sedentary activities). Light = light physical activity for at least 4 h/week (e.g., riding a bicycle or walking to work, walking with the family, gardening, fishing, table tennis, bowling etc.). Medium = performing regular physical activity and training for at least 2–3 h/week (e.g., spending time doing heavy gardening, running, swimming, playing tennis, badminton, calisthenics and similar activities).
