Odds ratios for failing to meet the new international guideline daily amount of physical activity for children aged 3 to 4 years (≥180 min of total physical activity including ≥60 min MVPA). Statistical analyses performed on multiple (n = 60) imputed datasets using multilevel logistic regression to account for clustering of days within time-points and children. Analyses were stratified by South Asian (202 children; 380 time-points; 2011 days) and white British (140 children; 220 time-points; 1170 days) ethnicities. All factors were mutually adjusted for one another except area deprivation and annual income which occupied separate models from each other. Reference categories are boys, area deprivation ≤10%, annual income <£6999, healthy weight, winter, weekday, normal birth weight, and maternal delivery age < 25y, respectively. Age was modelled continuously. South Asian ethnicity includes Pakistani (n = 154), Bangladeshi (n = 21), Indian (n = 4), and ‘Other South Asian’ including country of origin unknown (n = 23). MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity
