aAll percentages, median and IQR are weighted using sample weights.

bF statistic is a model fitness measure and higher values indicate stronger overall rhythmicity.

c  p-values were derived from Chi-square test for categorical variables, analysis of variance for total energy intake, and Kruskal-Wallis test for total activity count.

dmeasured as the total daily sum of the Monitor-Independent Movement Summary triaxial value.

eDefined as body mass index ≥30.
