aMultilevel linear regression model with the activity of interest as dependent variable adjusted for sex, age, educational level and BMI

bConstant representing mean value for a male participant aged 45 with tertiary education and a BMI below 25

cRelative standard deviation = standard deviation/mean

dInterclass correlation coefficient: part of total variance explained by difference between individuals

ePercentage of total variance explained by variation within individual
