Values: median (IQR). p values: Wilcoxon rank-sum.

*p < 0.05.

OW diff: overlap-weighted mean difference (high-function group − low-function group), expressed in percentage points (pp) for sedentary time and MVPA, in mg for mean acceleration, and in minutes for maximum MVPA bout duration; 95% CI: bootstrap percentile (B = 1,000); p: permutation p value (n = 1,000).

adj: adjusted covariates; CI: confidence interval; ENMO: Euclidean Norm Minus One; IQR: interquartile range; mg: milligravity units; MVPA: moderate-to-vigorous physical activity; OW: overlap weighting; PA: physical activity; PF: physical functioning; pp: percentage points.
