Total sedentary times are expressed as minutes/day [mean (standard deviation)]

D difference between self-reported total sedentary time and activPAL-derived sedentary time, A average of self-reported total sedentary time and ActivPAL-derived sedentary time, b 0intercept, b 1 slope, LOA limits of agreement (D ± 1.96 × standard deviation of the residuals), CI confidence interval. / for some variables, Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test was significant, so that Bland-Altman procedures could not be performed
