Coefficients were obtained from multilevel models and are adjusted for children's age and sex, parental ISEI, sociocultural region of Switzerland, and total physical activity. In the multilevel models, outcomes variables (i.e., ZNA components) were multiplied by 100 for better visual reading. All ZNA variables are reported as component.
