Hosp-ar = hospital admission rate, nloc-ar = nl-res admission rate, loc-ar = l-res admission rate, nl% = percentage of admitted nl-res, WSA = HSAo within winter sport area, RegA = HSAo within regular area. Bold = p < 0.05 between WSA and RegA for a variable, * = p < 0.05 between nl-res and l-res for an area type, 1) = no statistical analysis done.
