Results are expressed as value (95% confidence interval). AROC, area under the receiver operating curve; NPV, negative predictive value; PPV, positive predictive value. Definition 1: highest quartile of time spent in non-sedentary activities; definition 2, spending at least 20 min of moderate physical activity per day; definition 3, highest tertile of time spent in non-sedentary activities, definition 4, highest quintile of time spent in non-sedentary activities
