Impacts of demographic and teaching-related factors on teachers' mental, physical, and work-related health were explored using t-tests and ANOVAs.
Associations between PA variables and teachers' mental, physical, and work-related health were assessed using a linear regression analysis, adjusted for age, BMI, and gender.

Firstly, the study examined the impacts of demographic and occupation-related factors on teachers' perceived mental, physical, and work-related health.
