Cross-sectional associations of VPA relative to moderate PA, light PA, sedentary behaviour, and sleep (purple lines) and MVPA relative to light PA, SB, and sleep (pink lines) with CVD risk factors at 9 years of age. The lines represent the expected change in the outcomes upon increasing the dominant behavior while proportionally reducing the others. Models are adjusted for the child’s age and sex as well as maternal education level and body mass index as measured at the 9-year assessment. BP blood pressure, CVD cardiovascular disease, HDL high-density lipoprotein, HOMA-IR homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, LDL light-density lipoprotein, MetS metabolic syndrome score, MVPA moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, PA physical activity, VPA vigorous physical activity
