Note: Analyses were performed using 2-way ANOVA and ANCOVA adjusted for age, sex, accelerometer wearing time, alcohol consumption, lower back pain, knee pain and cardiovascular disease. SB: sedentary behavior; LPA: light-intensity physical activity; MVPA: moderate-to-vigorous physical activity; Steps: daily mean number of steps. 2-way ANOVA: 2-way analysis of variance; ANCOVA: analysis of covariance.
