The data are standardized regression coefficients adjusted for age and sex from linear regression analyses.

¹Physical activity assessed objectively by combined movement and heart rate monitoring defined as time spent ≥3 metabolic equivalents (METs), N=343.

²The components of physical activity were assessed using the PANIC Physical Activity Questionnaire.
