Note: Results were based on two separate hierarchical generalized linear models with a dichotomous outcome variable that assessed the factors associated with the outcomes of (1) insufficiently active, and (2) a decrease in physical activity during lockdown. Abbreviations: ICC: intralevel correlation coefficient; AIC: Akaike information criterion; BIC: Bayesian information criterion; CI: confidence intervals. a Estimates for participants that reported “Other” on variables of sex and marital status were not listed. b Results from null model tests were not listed, except for the ICC from null models. Null models were conducted without fixed factors but a random intercept of the country variable. For insufficiently active outcome, null model n = 11,746, ICC Country = 0.075, AIC = 15,473.24, and BIC = 15,474.04; for decrease in PA engagement outcome, null model n = 11,746, ICC Country = 0.045, AIC = 15,773.85, and BIC = 15,774.65.
