  1. Data are unstandardized β coefficient and 95% confidence interval (CI). The models were mutually adjusted for total sedentary time and/or MVPA, age, and season of data collection
  2. SB sedentary behavior, MVPA moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, BMI body mass index
  3. aVariables that remained in the model
  4. β coefficients in bold mean significant associations (p ≤ 0.05)
