  1. Abbreviations: Mean = geometric means re-scaled to collectively sum to 24 h/day for the time-use composition and arithmetic means for all other variables, SD/CI = 95% confidence intervals for the re-scaled geometric means of time-use variables and standard deviations for all other variables, p = p-value from the paired samples t-test (the first pivot coordinate was used for the time-use variables).
