  1. aParticipants were categorised into either ‘Having problem’ (1) or ‘Having no problem’ (0) in each dimension
  2. bSedentary 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
  3. cphysically 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
  4. dEstimates were adjusted for sex, age, obesity, smoking history, education, and cardiovascular diseases
