Data are presented as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). OR is expressed in hours. The youth models were adjusted for BMI z-score, age, sex, ethnicity, family income, time (1-min. bout) spent in a sedentary state, and MVPA. Adults and older adults models were adjusted for BMI, age, sex, ethnicity, education, family income, time (1-min. bout) spent in a sedentary state, and MVPA.
