Multiple regression analysis, adjustedor stratified for age, gender, and LTPA level. In case of interaction the analysis was stratified by the interaction term. Estimates based on average age, sex and LTPA.
M:male (boys and adolescent males).
F: female (girls and adolescent females).
C. = children (9 year old).
A. = adolescents (15 year old).
note: BMI and S4SF, Back extension was log transformed in order to meet model requirements.
