  • *Percentage of day spent in sedentary behaviour.

  • †Time reported in hours per day.

  • ‡Block 1: model adjusted by HSCL-10 (T1).

  • §Block 2: model adjusted by variables in Block 1; demography-related variables: sex, age, socioeconomic status father (>higher education T1), socioeconomic status mother (>higher educationT1), season (Winter T1), MVPA (T1), BMI (T1), sleep onset latency (>30 min T1), social network (T1) and screen time when sedentary time was predictor or sedentary time when screen time was predictor (T1).

  • ¶Block 3: model adjusted by variables in Block 1, Block 2 and health-related variables: self-reported health (T1) and chronic pain (T1).

  • BMI, body mass index; HSCL, Hopkins Symptoms Checklist; MVPA, moderate to vigorous physical activity; T1, baseline.
