RT, registered time; AMA, arm muscle area.

V, time spent vigorously active; M, time spent moderately active; RT, RT during which actigraph was worn; cpm, accelerometer counts per minute.

a

Gender, age at accelerometer wearing, socio-economic status and body fat % at time of accelerometer wearing were included in the model.

b

Gestation-adjusted birthweight.

c

Sum of triceps and subscapular skinfolds. Figures in parentheses are confidence intervals.
