  • Continuous parametric results are displayed as mean±SD or number (percentage), and continuous non-parametric results are displayed as median (IQR); sedentary time=<25 counts/15 s, light-intensity activity ≥25 to <488 counts/15 s, and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) ≥488 counts/15 s.

  • HDL, high-density lipoprotein; TMAO, trimethylamine N-oxide.
