Strength of an Unmeasured confounder needed to change the interpretation of significance for those life events identified as significanta
| Difference in Prevalence of Unmeasured Confounder between participants experiencing life event and those not experiencing life event. | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.01 | 0.1 | 0.2 | 0.3 | 0.5 | |
| Wave 2 to Wave 3 | |||||
| Had First Child | β = −30 hrs/wk | β = −3 hrs/wk | β = −1.5 hrs/wk | β = −1 hrs/wk | β = −0.6 hrs/wk |
| Wave 3 to Wave 4 | |||||
| Had First Child | β = −54 hrs/wk | β = −5.4 hrs/wk | β = −2.7 hrs/wk | β = −1.8 hrs/wk | β = −1.08 hrs/wk |
| Got Married | β = −44 hrs/wk | β = −4.4 hrs/wk | β = −2.2 hrs/wk | β = −1.47 hrs/wk | β = −0.88 hrs/wk |
| Left Parental Home | β = −9 hrs/wk | β = −0.9 hrs/wk | β = −0.45 hrs/wk | β = −0.3 hrs/wk | β = −0.18 hrs/wk |
The numbers in cells represent the regression coefficient an unmeasured confounder would need to have with MVPA (hrs/wk) to change the significance of the effect estimates for each life event
