Fig. 2From: Analyzing the demographic, spatial, and temporal factors influencing social contact patterns in U.S. and implications for infectious disease spreadSex and age pattern of mean number and duration of contacts with household members. The male and female contact patterns are statistically significantly different at the 95% confidence level for all age groups where the two lines do not cross the confidence intervals. The age patterns differ when we compare the mean number of contacts and the mean duration of contacts. For instance, while elderly males have the lowest mean number of household contacts among all males, they spend the most time with other household members on average.
