$Beta coefficient for child MVPA minutes per minute of parent MVPA.
*Testing that associations are different between time spent in MVPA by daughters and by sons; tested by adding an interaction term (parent MVPA*child gender) into the regression model.
Model 1: Unadjusted association.
Model 2: Adjusted for parent’s age, parent’s BMI, and household IMD.
