  1. Adjusted model A; adjusted for sex and age
  2. Adjusted model B; adjusted for sex, age, obesity, and smoking history
  3. Adjusted model C; adjusted for sex, age, obesity, smoking history, education, and cardiovascular diseases
  4. aSedentary refers to spending at least nine hours per day in sedentary behaviours, while not-sedentary refers to spending less than nine hours per day in sedentary activities
  5. bPhysically inactive refers to participants who did not meet the current physical activity guideline (≥ 150 min moderate-intensity or > 75 min vigorous-intensity equivalent physical activity per week), while active refers to participants who met the guideline
