  1. All values are β (95% CI)
  2. All variables adjusted for accelerometer wear time, intervention status and clustering
  3. Longitudinal models adjusted for children’s physical activity time at child age 20 months
  4. Boldface indicates statistical significance of P < 0.05
  5. LPA Light Physical Activity
  6. MVPA Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity
