Note. Model 1 included the following covariates: age, gender, race-ethnicity, education, health status, BMI, follow-up duration; Model 2 was the same as Model 1, but also included the baseline assessment of the respective health behavior; Model 3 employed a multivariable linear regression model instead of logistic regression model. This model evaluated the association of the personality traits on the “change” score in MVPA and diet. In addition to this change score variable, covariates included age, gender, race-ethnicity, education, health status, BMI, follow-up duration.
N = Neuroticism; E = Extraversion; O = Openness to Experience; A = Agreeableness; C = Conscientiousness; MVPA = Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
†For Model 3 for MVPA and Diet, the coefficients are unstandardized beta coefficients as opposed to Odds Ratios.
Bolded cells were statistically significant (p ≤ .05) associations.
