  1. LPA is light physical activity, MVPA is moderate-to-vigorous physical activity
  2. aAdjusted for randomised group, sex, primiparous, maternal education, household deprivation, ethnicity and maternal BMI. Analyses at 1 year of age further adjusted for whether the child was walking unaided or not walking
  3. bCoefficient for the first isometric log ratio (ilr) co-ordinate, which is proportional to the log ratio of the behavior and the geometric mean of the remaining behaviors; adjusted for remaining ilr co-ordinates
  4. cAll sleep estimates include naps where relevant
  5. dAll sedentary estimates include wake after sleep onset
  6. Bolded values indicate P < 0.05
