  1. *Multivariate model 1 includes screen time and sleep duration as the main exposures.
  2. **Multivariate model 2 includes sedentary time and sleep duration as the main exposures.
  3. †The backward deletion according the change in estimate approach was used to identify relevant confounders. Confounders that changed the odds ratio for the main exposures by >5% were kept in the model and those that did not were removed.
