Table 5. Prospective associations between objectively measured changes in total sedentary time, excluding sleep, during weekdays and weekends and body composition at 1-year follow-up. Values are standardized regression coefficients ( ).

* significant coefficient at p < 0.05 ** significant coefficient at p < 0.01

Δ… change in objectively determined sedentary behavior over 12 months

MVPA… moderate-to-vigorous physical activity over entire week;

EI… calculated energy intake

N/A indicates that variables were not included in the regression model

Models 1 and 2 are additionally adjusted for sex, age, and baseline body composition
