Odds ratio represent the odds of being classified in each metabolic health-weight status group (metabolically healthy=referent group) with each additional 10 minutes of MVPA, as well as each additional 60 minutes of LPA and sedentary time. Analyses controlled for age, sex, study, and accelerometer wear time.
