Fig. 4

Simple mediation analysis of VPA at 4 years of age with fat mass index (A) and aerobic fitness (B) via VPA at 9 years of age (n = 201). The model is adjusted for sex and age at baseline and follow up, group allocation, maternal education, and the other isometric log ratios to account for the 24-hour time-use composition. Equation 1 * Eq. 2 shows the natural indirect effect pathway, and Eq. 3’ shows the natural direct effect pathway. VPA: vigorous physical activity, MPA: moderate physical activity, LPA: light physical activity, SB: sedentary behaviour
