The authors have advised that there is an error with the AOR of the independent variable physical activity throughout the paper. 

Page 1251, Abstract, Results, line 4, the text “presence of mild to moderate physical activity [AOR = 1.3, 95% CI (5.5, 33.3),
p ≤ 0.001)]” should read “absence of mild to moderate physical activity [AOR = 6.3, 95% CI (5.5, 33.3), p ≤ 0.001)]”.

Page 1254, left column, line 3 from the bottom, the text “presence of mild to moderate physical activity [AOR =  1.3, 95% CI (5.5, 33.3), p≤ 0.001)]” should read “absence of mild to moderate physical activity [AOR = 6.3, 95% CI (5.5, 33.3), p≤ 0.001)]”.

Page 1255, Table 3, AOR (95% CI) column, the data for AOR “ 1.3” should read “ 6.3” in the variable Physical Activity, No row.
