OR = odds ratio, 95% C.I. = confidence interval at 95%, S.E. = standard error

1 The logistic model estimates the associations between the independent variables and the odds of having time spent sedentary during other leisure activities in the last 7 days.

2 The gamma model estimates the associations between the independent variables and the amount of other leisure-time sedentary behaviours in the last 7 days.

All analyses were adjusted for age, gender, educational level, BMI, neighbourhood type and country.

All b-values represent the increase in (domain-specific) sedentary behaviours in hours/day, with a one-unit increase in the predictor.

Exponent b-values represent the proportional increase in (domain-specific) sedentary behaviours in hours/day, with a one-unit increase in the predictor.
