The association is investigated with a quantile regression, using data from both cohorts, 2000 and 2008, in 10% percentile, 50% percentile and in 90% percentile of school grades.

a Model 1 is adjusted for year (2000 and 2008), parental education and foreign origin. NGirls = 9889, NBoys = 9685.

b Model 2 is adjusted as model 1 and in addition also for sedentary behavior. NGirls = 9781, NBoys = 9595.
