  1. Potential correlates were identified by using baseline measurements. “x” indicates correlates not inserted in analyses for context-specific sedentary behaviour. “-” indicates correlates that showed levels of significance p ≥.10 at the second step. For occupational classification (^), ‘others, i.e. household or no-paid job’ was used as the reference category
  2. Occupational status was not inserted in the analyses regarding occupation, due to model fit. The scoring of occupational classification (dummmy1 and dummy2) can be found in Table 2. All analyses were adjusted for total physical activity
  3. Abbreviations: PC computer, TV television, ns not significant, CI confidence interval. Correlates inserted in the fourth step were labelled: ***p <.001; **p <.01; *p <.05
