Associations are presented as coefficients (B) (95% CI), controlled for gender, BMI, accelerometer wear time, educational level, chronic conditions, smoking status and marital status. Significant associations at *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
Stratification by age groups were based on significant interaction effects between age and the presented PA-intensities and/or SED on these dimensions.
