Table 2 Summary of our results

From: Network analysis of the NetHealth data: exploring co-evolution of individuals’ social network positions and physical activities

Global properties of network snapshots

Local properties of nodes

Trait differences between different user groups

∙ All snapshots have high node overlaps, but only snapshots from consecutive time periods have high edge overlaps

∙ Different centrality measures are complementary - they identify different users

∙ Users in NET_T do not show any trait difference compared to the control group

∙ Global network properties are stable over time

∙ This results in 222 NET_T users, 88 PA_T users, and 81 NET_PA users

∙ However, NET_T users who are also in PA_T are more likely to be introverted

∙ The best fitting network model for all snapshots is the same (GEO)

∙ The numbers of users in NET_T, PA_T, and NET_PA are statistically significantly high

∙ In addition, a subset of these (NET_T ∩PA_T) users who are also in NET_PA are also more likely to be anxious
