  1. Statistical method: Chi square, one-way ANOVA, and Kruskal-Wallis test
  2. Abbreviations and definitions: UTIB usually having TIB 7–9 h/night: ≥80% of measurement days, STIB sometimes having TIB 7–9 h/night: 20–79% of measurement days, RTIB rarely having TIB 7–9 h/night: < 20% of measurement days; Highly Sedentary: daily SB ≥ 65% of wear time; IQR interquartile range, TIB time in bed, hr hour, min minutes, SPPB short physical performance battery, SB sedentary behavior, CPM counts per minute. Physical activity and sedentary behaviour were calculated in vector magnitude from 05:00–24:00 (19 h)/day excluding TIB
