¹Odds Ratio (95% CI).

²Separate models for mothers and children for each outcome variable (high commuting, leisure-time sports, and sedentary). Child models controlled for cohort, child’s age and gender. Maternal models controlled for cohort and maternal age.

³Models for commuting and leisure-time sports activities used data from both measurement occasions, and models for sedentary behavior used data at follow-up.
