BMI – body mass index, CI – confidence interval, FM% – fat mass percentage, OR – odds ratio, PA – physical activity, Ref – reference group, SD – standard deviation, ST – screen time, SL – sleep, VAT – visceral adiposity tissue

The model was adjusted for sex, age, birth weight, maternal obesity, and unhealthy diet

Children with ≥60 min/day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, < 2 h/day of recreational ST, and uninterrupted sleep for 9–11 h/day were considered to meet the overall 24-hour movement guidelines
