  1. METS = metabolic equivalent of a task, representing energy expenditure per day; MVPA = moderate/vigorous physical activity.
  2. Final model adjusted for age, sex, smoking, SLI, height.
  3. Diet variables adjusted for total METS, percentage diet variables additionally adjusted for total energy intake.
  4. PA variables adjusted for energy intake.
  5. Robust standard errors used to account for family clustering.
