Table 3.

The association between momentary greenness exposure and the likelihood of MVPA at 30-second interval point locations. The analysis was restricted to residential neighborhood activity and the logistic model included a random effect on subjects to account for nested measuresa.

a

There were 208 subjects and a total of 142,552 30-second epochs. The epoch was the unit of analysis.

b

Negative NDVI values primarily representing water were assigned 0. For the regression model all values were rescaled by dividing by their 10–90th quantile range.

c

Race category “other” includes mixed, other, Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian.

d

MVPA kernel density estimate (bandwidth 100m) included to address spatial autocorrelation.
