  1. Data are presented from imputed datasets
  2. MVPA Moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity, BMI Body mass index, ST Screen time, SE Standard error, CI Confidence interval
  3. Bold indicates marginally statistically significant correlates at p < 0.10
  4. Meeting the 24-h movement guidelines is defined as ≥60 min/day for MVPA, ≤2 h/day for ST, and between 9 and 11 h per night for sleep duration
