The cut-points for high levels of household sedentary time (≥21% of the total waking, non-occupational time/day), leisure sedentary time (≥40% of the total waking, non-occupational time/day), and transport sedentary time (≥12% of the total waking, non-occupational time/day) are based on the 75th percentiles
