a There were 3 types of regression models used to test associations between sedentary tasks and cardiometabolic health markers.

b Blank cells indicate that the variable was not included in the model. "Omit" indicates that the variable was removed from the model.

c Single-variable models tested the total association of each sedentary task, unadjusted for other sedentary tasks.

d Partition models tested the unique associations of each sedentary task, adjusted for all other sedentary tasks.

e Isotemporal substitution models tested the substitution association of each sedentary task, holding time constant.
