For each participant, mean daily physical activity measures were derived

Models for BMI were not adjusted for height

Estimates are regression coefficients obtained from linear regression models

SD standard deviation

^aAdjusted for gender, age, height, smoking history (ever vs. never), alcohol consumption, and social class (manual vs. non-manual)
