ST, average daily minutes sedentary time (per hour of valid wear time) on valid days measured by waist-worn accelerometer. kcal, kilocalories. BMI, Body Mass Index. Dietary intake variable measured by multiple 24-h recalls. Fruit + Veg. has been square root transformed. Standardized beta coefficients (β) are presented.
