*

Time spent sedentary or in moderate-to-vigorous activity calculated as the average minutes per day across valid days of wear. Categories determined by the quartile distribution among controls; behavior defined by the following counts: sedentary (0-99 counts) and moderate-to-vigorous (760+ counts); data for moderate-to-vigorous activity missing for one case.

Multinomial models adjusted for age, BMI, and wear time; each model includes all controls and the specific invasive cases of interest.
