  1. The unstandardized regression coefficients (B) with its 95% confidence interval (CI), standardized regression coefficient (β), and P value are given for each association. Significant values are bolded
  2. Model 1 was adjusted for awake wearing time, N = 697
  3. Model 2 was adjusted for child’s age and sex, research season, socioeconomic status, and awake wearing time, N = 694
  4. Model 3 was adjusted for child’s age and sex, research season, socioeconomic status, and awake wearing time and additionally for other temperament dimensions, N = 694
  5. SED sedentary time, LPA light-intensity physical activity, MPA moderate-intensity physical activity, VPA vigorous-intensity physical activity
