  1. All models are adjusted for accelerometer wear time, seasonality and remote data collection
  2. Models 2 & 3 also control for gender, age and household education
  3. ap-value for a test for a difference between Wave 0 and Wave 1
  4. bp-value for a test for an interaction effect
  5. cz-BMI models use multiple-imputed data: see text for details
  6. Wave 0: Mar 2017-Jul 2018; Wave 1: May 2021-Dec 2021
  7. CI confidence interval, MVPA moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, CMO Chief Medical Officer, PA physical activity, z-BMI Body Mass Index standardised z-score
