*Variables for the multiple imputation (50 imputations) were as follows: CDF at 13 and 16 years; sex; nighttime sleep duration at 7 and 9 years; body mass index (BMI) at 7 and 9 years; child mood at 9 years (Short Moods and Feelings Questionnaire score); maternal depression at 6 years (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale); maternal anxiety at 6 years (Crown-Crisp Experiential Index); mean test score for English, Mathematics and Science at 11 years (Key Stage 2 tests); maternal life events score (antenatal); self-esteem at 8 years (Global Self Worth subscale from Harter’s Self Perception Profile for Children); Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children family adversity index (antenatal); family adversity index at 8–10 years; life difficulties, hyperactivity and internalising behaviour at 11 years (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire); screen time at 6 years; special school arrangements for emotional/behavioural problems at 7 years; conduct problems at 8 years; duration of breastfeeding; family income at 4 years; maternal childhood socioeconomic status; maternal education; maternal age at birth of child; maternal psychopathology at 8–10 years; experienced bullying at 8 years; days spent outdoors at 8 years; poor concentration at school at 7 years; maternal and paternal BMI at 8 years; internalising behaviour at 4 years (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire); early puberty; dietary patterns at 3  and 10 years.

†For total physical activity, change is per 100 counts/min increase in mean total physical activity for the whole week

‡Adjusted for sex and family adversity index (antenatal).

§Adjusted for sex; family adversity index (antenatal); BMI at 7 and 9 years; maternal depression at 6 years; maternal anxiety at 6 years; internalising behaviour at 4 and 11 years; self-esteem at 8 years; child mood at 9 years; early puberty; Key Stage 2 test scores; duration of breastfeeding; family income at 4 years; screen time at 6 years; maternal childhood socioeconomic status; maternal life events score (antenatal); nighttime sleep duration at 8 years; conduct problems at 8 years; dietary patterns at 10 years.

¶For moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, change is per 15 min increase (threshold ≥3500 counts/min).

**For sedentary time, change is per hour increase.
