Reference categories are participants in the lowest tertile. 95% CIs not including 1 are marked in bold.
Age-gender: Adjusted for gender and age (yrs.)
+ Lifestyle: additionally adjusted for education level (university degree vs. not), energy intake (kcal·d-1 in quartiles), smoking habits (regular smoker vs. not) and psychosocial stress (self-reported into four levels)
+ SED: additionally adjusted for % of wear time spent in SED (in tertiles)
+ MVPA: additionally adjusted for % of wear time spent in MVPA (in tertiles)
+ Fitness: additionally adjusted for estimated VO2max (ml·min-1·kg-1, in tertiles)
