  1. *Significantly different from the reference (p < 0.05)
  2. aChange in outcome in categories of activity status relative to consistently inactive as reference, and with an F-test for difference between groups. Model 1 adjusted for baseline measurement of outcome. Model 2 adjusted for baseline measurement of outcome, screen time on weekdays, regularity of eating breakfast, age in half years at baseline and days between measurements
  3. bConsistently inactive boys had a mean increase of 1.3 BMI units, 3.9 cm waist circumference, 0.9 FMI units and 0.3 LMI units
  4. cConsistently inactive girls had a mean increase of 0.8 BMI units, 0.9 cm waist circumference, 0.6 FMI units and 0.1 LMI units
