Each final model includes all predictors included in the final model. Demographic covariates were included if they had at least a small () and significant () correlation with the health variable. No demographic covariate met these criteria that was not included in the final model. Days per month of home yoga practice. cGender coded males “0,” females “1.” Abbreviations—B: unstandardized beta weight. SE: standard error. t: t score for linear regressions. x: interaction effect. Wald: Wald statistic for logistic regressions. OR: odds ratio. BMI: body mass index. Note: for all measures, higher scores indicate more of the concept measured. * level (2-tailed). ** (2-tailed).
