  1. 1coefficients from random effects regression models, accounting for clustering within person; wear days (range 3-7 days) at level 1 and all other variables at level 2.
  2. Model 1 = fear of falling+ minutes of accelerometer wear time + region of residence + day order + age +season of wear.
  3. Model 9 = Model 1+exercise outcome expectations+ exercise self-efficacy+ number of days leave the house+ mobility limitations+ falls+ depression+ quality of life.
