Data presented as OR (95% CI). All ORs adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, socio-economic status, smoking, alcohol, dietary fat, saturated fat and sodium.

^aMVPA and MPA were adjusted for the covariates and VPA.

^bModel 1 for VPA was adjusted for the covariates and MVPA. Model 2 for VPA was adjusted for the covariates, MVPA and waist circumference.

^cP < 0.05 vs referent.

^dP < 0.01 vs referent.
