Note.

Total caloric intake per day is the average daily total calories divided by 100 calculated based on two one-day dietary recalls.

Total physical activity is measured by average daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) minutes based on accelerometer data of ≥1-minute episodes.

Obesity is indicated by ≥30 kg/m2 based on objectively measured height and weight.

Abdominal obesity is indicated by waist circumference of ≥102cm or over for men.
