p-value is based on the cohort from GEE models adjusted for age (at baseline), education (at baseline, high school or less/some college, college graduate or more), race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic White, Other), site (Durham, Greensboro), marital status (time varying: married, not married), general health (time varying: excellent/very good, good, fair/poor), work status (time varying: employed full time, employed part-time, not employed), body mass index (time varying: continuous), and average total daily Actical wearing hours (time varying)

GEE=general estimating equation; IQR = interquartile range
