N = 317. Data presented as β coefficient and 95%CI for change in risk factor per 100-minute change in sedentary/sitting time, adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, environment and socio-economic status and smoking. P-values values are given for β values for each measurement method and for the interaction between regression coefficients derived from accelerometer vs IPAQ measurements.
