From: Many different roads lead to Rome: equivalence of time-use for activity, sedentary and sleep behaviours and dietary intake profiles among adolescents

Fig. 1

Simulated equivalent behaviour-change options for physical functioning across time use and dietary intake. For each time-use behaviour (displayed in top five cells) and dietary choice (displayed in bottom five cells), the percentage of options associated with increases in physical functioning of + 0.5, + 1, + 1.5, + 2 or + 2.5 points is shown. For example, the top-most right cell displays what percent of options for changes in each time-use behaviour are associated with + 2.5 improvement in physical functioning, showing that there are no options to reduce physical activity, but that the majority of options require reductions in quiet time, screen time and self-care (brown/green colours). In terms of diet, the only options available for a + 2.5 improvement in physical functioning are increases in fruit and vegetables, and decreases in SSBs and discretionary foods. Models were adjusted for age, sex and household socioeconomic position. Reference durations (zero difference) for time-use behaviours are: sleep = 740; self care = 130; screen time = 160; quiet time = 170; physical activity = 50; school-related = 130; domestic/social = 60. Reference serves for dietary intake are: fruit and vegetables = 4; discretionary foods = 2, SSB = 1. The largest simulated decrease for SSB was − 1 serve to avoid negative values.
