  1. Robust standard errors in parentheses. ***p < 0.01, **p < 0.05; p values in brackets.
  2. The long-run effects of daily step on healthcare costs are calculated by the coefficient of daily steps divided by 1 minus the lagged coefficient of the dependent variable.
  3. OLS ordinary least squares, GMM generalized method of moments.
