Analyses utilized survey weights to account for complex survey design
aAfter accounting for listwise deletion of missing data, cases in logistic regression model: 2544. Insufficiently active: 16.4% (n = 399); Sufficiently active (reference group): 83.6% (n = 2145)
bAfter accounting for listwise deletion of missing data, cases in logistic regression model: 2544. ≥7 h: 48.2% (n = 1178); < 7 h (reference group): 51.8% (n = 1366)
