PA, physical activity; Ref., reference category.
For categorical variables, levels are shown. For continuous variables, scale for interpretation of OR is shown.
Adjusted for age, sex, test site, and sociodemographic and lifestyle/behavioural variables together. See Tables 1 and 2 for the variables. The associations of eating behaviours are shown in Figs 1 and 2.
Intensity of PA was modelled isotemporarily; with time estimates denoting substitution from light PA into either sedentary or moderate/vigorous PA.
Mediterranean diet score was an 18-point scale representing adherence to the Mediterranean diet, used as a marker of diet quality.
P values for trend are presented, for which an ordinal variable was included as a continuous term in a logistic regression model.
