  1. The coefficients were based on the quantile regression at 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles. *p < 0.05. (P values see Additional file 4.) Model 1 was controlled for the total PA only. The individual-level variables were then added to the equation to estimate Model 2, including the sedentary activity time, age, educational level, marital status, household income level, energy intake, energy percentage from fat, BMI, smoking status, alcohol consumption status and region. For Model 3, urbanization index level was added to Model 2
