Model 1 – unadjusted (raw) model

Model 2 – model 2 was adjusted for age and body height

Model 3 – model 3 was adjusted for model 2 and sedentary time

CI confidence interval, LPA light physical activity, MVPA moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, VPA vigorous physical activity

^aValues were transformed to natural logarithms before analysis

^bβ gives the regression coefficient of the standardized values (Z-score) for each variable
