Notes: Boldface indicates statistical significance (p<0.05). Total and prolonged sedentary time were included in separate models. All β coefficients adjusted for MVPA, age, race, gender, center, education, alcohol, smoking, energy intake, height (waist only), wear time, and baseline value (5-year change models only).

^aSufficient activity defined as ≥150 minutes/week of MVPA or ≥75 minutes/week of VPA

MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity; WC, waist circumference.
