  1. Values shown are β (95% CI). These represent the change in outcome variables when substituting 30 min/day of inactive time with time in bed and physical activity. Abbreviations: LPA light physical activity, MVPA moderate-vigorous physical activity, BMI body mass index, VAT visceral adipose tissue, HbA1c glycated haemoglobin, HDL high density lipoprotein, LDL low-density lipoprotein, SBP; systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure. Linear regression models were used to assess isotemporal substitution of inactive time with: time in bed, light PA and MVPA, adjusting for age, sex, educational level, marital status, erMedDiet, smoking and total wear time
