Daily mobility, an important aspect of environmental exposures
                and health behavior, has mainly been investigated in high-income
                countries. We aimed to identify the main dimensions of mobility
                and investigate their individual, contextual, and external
                predictors among men and women living in a peri-urban area of
                South India. We used 192 global positioning system
                (GPS)-recorded mobility tracks from 47 participants (24 women,
                23 men) from the Cardiovascular Health effects of Air pollution
                in Telangana, India (CHAI) project (mean: 4.1 days/person). The
                mean age was 44 (standard deviation: 14) years. Half of the
                population was illiterate and 55% was in unskilled manual
                employment, mostly agriculture-related. Sex was the largest
                determinant of mobility. During daytime, time spent at home
                averaged 13.4 (3.7) h for women and 9.4 (4.2) h for men. Women's
                activity spaces were smaller and more circular than men's. A
                principal component analysis identified three main mobility
                dimensions related to the size of the activity space, the
                mobility in/around the residence, and mobility inside the
                village, explaining 86% (women) and 61% (men) of the total
                variability in mobility. Age, socioeconomic status, and
                urbanicity were associated with all three dimensions. Our
                results have multiple potential applications for improved
                assessment of environmental exposures and their effects on
                health.
