Associations of sedentary time patterns with C‐reactive protein (CRP) in school‐aged children
| Model | Frequency of sedentary bouts of 5–10 min (no. per day) | Duration of sedentary bouts of 5–10 min (min day−1) | Frequency of sedentary bouts >10 min (no. per day) | Duration of sedentary bouts of >10 min (min day−1) | Frequency of breaks in sedentary time (no. per day) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

b (95% CI), exponentiated regression coefficients and 95% confidence intervals. Model 1 adjusted for clustering within school classes. Model 2 further adjusted for sex and waist circumference. Model 3 further adjusted for moderate‐to vigorous‐intensity physical activity (MVPA). Model 4 further adjusted for diet density. a P = 0.015, b P = 0.033, c P = 0.024.
