*Moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity at least 150 min/week, vigorous physical activity at least 75 min/week, or a combination of these (for details of calculation, see methods).
Normal weight=18.5 to <25 kg/m2; overweight=25 to <30 kg/m2; obese=30–40 kg/m2.
MVPA1 min, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (≥3 metabolic equivalents (METs)) calculated from single 1 min bouts throughout the measurement period.
MVPA10 min, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (≥3 METs) calculated from bouts of physical activity lasting continuously for ≥10 min.
