  1. Ref, reference group; SE, standard error; DF, degree of freedom. Model includes 564,448 minutes of combined location-activity data among 80 subjects, and is adjusted for subject, age, sex, weight category, date, town, temperature, weather, and location-weather interactions, as well as time sequences (polynomial time terms remained significant up to time9, p < 0.0001) including valid hours per day of combined data to account for potential temporal effects of physical activity. The model AIC = 2,590,976.
  2. aReported β estimates for location variables are the log of activity counts (activity counts = ß × 100); β estimates for covariates are partial regression coefficients.
  3. bLongitudinal mixed effects.
  4. Location*Weather indicates interaction term for Location and Weather.
