95% CI, 95% confidence interval; cpm, counts per minute; GM, geometric mean; IQR, interquartile range; min/d, minutes per day; n, number; PA, physical activity; VV, vigorous-to-very-vigorous; WHO, World Health Organization.
*Activity intensities were determined based on triaxial 24h-accelerometry vector magnitude defining 0–78 cpm as ‘inactivity’, 79–2,690 cpm as ‘low-intensity’, 2,691–6,166 cpm as ‘moderate’, and ≥6,167 cpm as VV activity^27,28.
^a‘Meeting WHO PA recommendation’ (‘yes’) was defined as accumulating ≥150 min/week or ≥75 min/week of vigorous activity/week (here: VV activity) (mean weekly estimates: mean min/d per participant multiplied by 7), spent in activity bouts ≥10 minutes, or an equivalent combination of these¹. For the latter metabolic equivalents of tasks (METs)/week were calculated, when multiplying mean weekly estimates in moderate and VV activity by 4 and 8 METs, respectively, as described before²⁹. Achieving with the sum of both ≥450 METs/week, this was classified as ‘meeting WHO PA recommendation’. Not meeting any of the aforementioned criteria was classified as ‘not meeting WHO recommendation’.
