  1. Abdominal obesity was defined as WC above the sex and age-specific 90th percentile. 1 The regression model was adjusted for the corresponding variable at baseline, BMI-SDS, sex and Tanner stage
  2. Abbreviations: BMI-SDS Standard deviation score for body mass index, LPA Light physical activity, MVPA Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, PA Physical activity
  3. P values below 0.05 are written in boldface
