BMI, body-mass index; IQR, interquartile range; NWT, non-wear time. aThe total number of waking and sleeping phases were summed up per participant and divided by two to consider one waking and one sleeping phase as average 24 h.

bAnalyses were conducted from the first to the last recorded time point of assessment in the diary.

cWaking and sleeping phases were derived from participants’ diary entries.
