  1. cpm average counts per minute, FFM fat-free-mass, MDP milk and dairy products, MVPA moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, PA physical activity
  2. aIn Model 3, the independent variables were (in addition to Model 2) adjusted as follows: sedentary time: moderate and vigorous PA; light PA, moderate PA, vigorous PA and MVPA: sedentary time; musculoskeletal fitness and FFM: PA level; PA level: no additional adjustment for other accelerometer-based variables
  3. bIn Model 2, FFM was adjusted for MDP and daylight duration
