BMI body mass index
Numeric parameters are expressed as means with standard deviation in parentheses, unless stated otherwise. Categorical parameters are expressed as counts with percentages in parentheses
a BMI was categorized into underweight (< 18.5 kg/m2), normal (18.5–24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25.0–29.9 kg/m2), and obesity (≥30.0 kg/m2)
b Household income levels were calculated by dividing the total household monthly income with the obtained levels then grouped into quartiles
c Depressive symptoms were defined as individuals who felt sad or experienced other depressive symptoms for 2 consecutive weeks during the past year
d Levels of sedentary behaviors were categorized using quartiles: < 5, 5–7, 8–10, and > 10 h/day
