All the models (sedentary time as predictor variable) were adjusted for age, sex, season and BMIz and accounted for clustering by school. Model A: Minimally adjusted model; Model B: adjusted for MVPA. Values in the table are displayed in bold when the association p-value is >0.005
Abbreviations BMIz = body mass index z-score; WCz = waist circumference z-score; SBP = Systolic Blood Pressure; DBP = Diastolic Blood Pressure; HDL = High-Density Lipoprotein; LDL = Low-Density Lipoprotein; FPG = fasting plasma glucose; Vitamin D = 25hydroxyvitaminD; MVPA = Moderate- to- Vigorous-intensity Physical Activity (≥ 4 METS)
