Notes: Model (a) Mixed logistic regression. Model (b) Mixed logistic regression adjusted for ICSEA, school size and sex and wear time for accelerometer measure physical activity. All models included school as a random effect. * P ≤ 0.05. (1) Meeting the physical activity guidelines on 7 days, (2) Meeting the physical activity guidelines on ≥5 days, (3) ≥60mins of MVPA/day on average, (4) WHO Cut-points, Odds of healthy BMI compared to overweight/obesity. Physical activity environment score, low score (5–7) medium (8) and high (9–11). Active transport environment score, low score (0–2) medium (3) and high (4, 5)
