*Complete data was defined as having nonmissing counts over at least 70% of a standard measurement day, with a standard measurement day defined as the length of time in which at least 70% of participants were wearing the monitor. This was defined separately for weekdays and weekends.

#In some cases the values may not add to the sample size due to missing values.
