  1. Notes: MET metabolic equivalent of task, Est. estimate: mean (fixed effects), standard deviation (random effects: intercept, slope), SE standard error, × interaction term, − fixed at zero as indicated by likelihood ratio test
  2. All slopes are linear. Models were adjusted for time-invariant covariates: sex, age, and education
