HRQoL = Health-related quality of life, MVPA = Moderate- to vigorous physical activity, LPA = Light physical activity, SED = Sedentary time

Associations between outcomes and exposures were controlled for gender, age, BMI, accelerometer wear time, educational level, chronic conditions, smoking status and marital status, presented as main effect estimates (B coefficients (95% CI)). Significant associations at *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01
