Distribution of Physical Activity characteristic (mean, standard deviation [SD])¹ of the Indian Migration Study (n = 6,447).

1<p>Data presented are means (standard deviation [SD]) except for MVPA and television viewing which are geometric means (95% confidence interval [95% CI]).</p>†<p>PAL = Physical Activity Level (<i>extremely inactive lifestyle</i>, PAL<1.40; <i>sedentary/lightly active lifestyle</i>, PAL 1.4–1.69; <i>moderately active lifestyle</i>, PAL 1.70–1.99, <i>very active lifestyle</i>, PAL≥2.0).</p>¥<p>Activity intensity based on MET value of activities: sedentary <1.5METS; light 1.5–≤3METS; moderate/vigorous >3METS.</p>a<p>P-value based on linear regression with physical activity variables as the outcome, adjusted for age, sex and factory site and using robust standard errors to account for clustering (sib-pairs), log-transforming MVPA and television viewing and performing Wald tests on model parameters.</p>b<p>Based on a subset of questions from the Standard of Living Index. Scores are based on tertiles.</p>c<p>South includes the four southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
