  1. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th follow-ups refer to the median time as 6.7, 10.4, 13.7, and 17.0 years after baseline assessment (1999–2001). The control group and the first follow-up examination (3.6 median years after baseline assessment) were considered reference categories.
  2. GEE models were adjusted for age, education, and occupation at each follow-up and BMI at baseline. For younger girls, parental ages, paternal employment, and maternal education were also considered adjustments for older boys.
  3. Int Intervention, F Follow-up, CI Confidence Interval, β regression coefficients that represent the mean differences of LTPA compared to the reference category.
