BMI percentile	63.4 ± 0.7^a	48.5 ± 0.8^b	38.6 ± 1.7^c	63.0 ± 0.7^a	49.0 ± 0.8^b	39.9 ± 1.5^c	65.6 ± 0.8^a	51.8 ± 0.7^b	44.2 ± 1.1^c
BMI (kg/m²)	21.3 ± 0.1^a	19.4 ± 0.1^b	18.5 ± 0.2^c	21.3 ± 0.1^a	19.5 ± 0.1^b	18.5 ± 0.2^c	21.6 ± 0.1^a	19.8 ± 0.1^b	19.0 ± 0.1^c
Body fatness (%)	26.9 ± 0.2^a	22.0 ± 0.2^b	19.4 ± 0.6^c	26.6 ± 0.2^a	22.3 ± 0.3^b	19.7 ± 0.5^c	27.2 ± 0.3^a	23.3 ± 0.2^b	20.8 ± 0.3^c
Lean body mass (%)	69.3 ± 0.2^a	71.1 ± 0.2^b	76.6 ± 0.5^c	69.5 ± 0.2^b	73.7 ± 0.3^c	76.3 ± 0.5^c	68.9 ± 0.3^a	72.7 ± 0.2^b	75.2 ± 0.3^c
Weight (kg)	57.8 ± 0.3^a	51.7 ± 0.3^b	47.5 ± 0.7^c	57.5 ± 0.3^a	52.0 ± 0.3^b	48.5 ± 0.6^c	58.9 ± 0.3^a	53.1 ± 0.3^b	49.6 ± 0.4^c
Waist circumference (cm)	74.5 ± 0.2^a	69.9 ± 0.2^b	67.2 ± 0.6^c	74.3 ± 0.2^a	70.0 ± 0.3^b	67.7 ± 0.5^c	75.3 ± 0.3^a	70.7 ± 0.2^b	68.8 ± 0.3^c

All values are means ± SEs by ANOVA adjusted for age and sex. n = 2868. Sample size differed for body fatness (n = 2855), lean body mass (n = 2855), and waist circumference (n = 2861). PA_low, physical activity coefficients assigned as low-active; PA_PAL, physical activity coefficients obtained from estimated physical activity levels; PA_MVPA, physical activity coefficients obtained from minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Values within each dietary reporting method with different superscript letters are significantly different, P < 0.05 (Tukey's honestly significant difference test).
