Notes: MVPA quartiles are calculated within each age category. Two accelerometer thresholds were used to account for time spent in MVPA: 760 CPM for MVPA1, and 2020 CPM for MVPA2.

AIC = Akaike Information Criterion; CI = Confidence interval; DFA = Detrended fluctuation analysis; MVPA = Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.

aControlling for age. bControlling for age and MVPA quartile. cControlling for age, MVPA quartile, and chronic conditions. dControlling for age, MVPA quartile, chronic conditions, and weartime. eControlling for age, MVPA quartile, chronic conditions, weartime, sex, marital status, education, difficulty walking, hypertension, and total cholesterol. f2,069 individuals with missing information on at least one of the variables.
