Notes: Results from zero-inflated negative binomial regression models adjusted for mother’s age and no. of child(ren) in the household. Income and education were modelled as continuous variables (i.e., linear terms) because this yielded a substantially better model fit than when the same variables were treated as categorical. MVPA = moderate to vigorous physical activity; eb = exponentiated value of regression coefficient; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence intervals; p = p-value; ref = reference category. a These models provide information on the total effects of socio-economic indicators on mothers’ MVPA.
