Table 2 Cross-sectional associations between 3-part time-use composition and inhibitory control, self-regulation, and mental wellbeing at 5 years of age (n = 344)

From: Associations between activity, sedentary and sleep behaviours and psychosocial health in young children: a longitudinal compositional time-use study

 

Standardised mean difference (95% CI) in outcome for 10% more sleep time than average
