  1. BMI body mass index, LPA light-intensity physical activity, MVPA moderate-vigorous intensity physical activity, TPA total physical activity, SB sedentary behavior, SST sedentary screen time
  2. Data presented as mean (95% confidence interval)..
  3. Analytical sample: an = 57 (32 boys, 25 girls; 42 urban, 15 less developed)
  4. bn = 63 (36 boys, 27 girls; 48 urban, 15 less developed)
  5. cn = 62 (36 boys, 26 girls; 48 urban, 14 less developed)
  6. Differences were tested using Mann-Whitney U tests by asex and bresidential settings; bold values indicate statistically significant at p < 0.05
