*Model 1 adjusted for age, sex and accelerometry wear time.
†Model 2 also adjusted for smoking, alcohol, education, BMI and social occupational group employment long-standing illness (non-mental only).
‡Model 3 also adjusted for tertiles of self-reported MVPA (for TV and sitting exposures) or total sitting time (for MVPA exposure).
BMI, body mass index; MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
