#Model 1 was adjusted for age, sex, education, wear seasons, and daily wear time of ActiGraph; Model 2 was additionally adjusted for smoking, alcohol intake, APOE ε4 allele, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, stroke, and coronary heart disease; and in Model 3, the analyses of MVPA and LPA were mutually adjusted for each other and the analyses of SB were adjusted for MVPA
