c-coeff: c-coefficient; Comp/game: computer/game-use; SD: standard deviation.

TV-viewing and comp/game-use reported as hours/day.

aBaseline differences for screen behaviours were tested with independent t-test; no significant differences were found.

bSubgroup analyses based on preceding significant interaction analyses by gender or weight status.

Effect analyses for the whole sample for TV-viewing were adjusted for weight status and parental education level.

Effect analyses for the whole sample for computer/game-use were adjusted for gender, weight status and parental education level.

n varies for the different behaviours:

dn in analyses for Weekday TV-viewing: All = 1299; normal weight =1130; overweight = 169.

en in analyses for Weekend TV-viewing: All = 1281.

fn in analyses for Weekday comp/game-use: All = 1286; normal weight = 1119; overweight = 167.

gn in analyses for Weekend comp/game-use: All = 1272; girls = 618; boys = 654.
