  1. The odds ratio (OR) with its 95% confidence interval (CI) and P value are given for each association. PA physical activity. The PA recommendation was defined as having PA at least 180 min/day, of which at least 60 min/day was moderate-to-vigorous PA. Not meeting the PA recommendation was set as a reference group
  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
