Table summary
This table displays the results of Regression coefficients relating time outdoors to measures of physical health. The information is grouped by Measures of physical health (appearing as row headers), Total (n = 1,159), Boys (n = 596), Girls (n = 563), b, 95% confidence interval and p, calculated using from and to units of measure (appearing as column headers).
