Note: Values are means ± SD unless prevalence is reported. Moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA ≥ 3.0 METs), light PA (1.5–3.0 METs), sedentary (≤1.5 METs). BMI, body mass index; EE, energy expenditure; MVPA, moderate to vigorous physical activity; PA, physical activity; TDEE, total daily energy expenditure.

a
