Note. ^aModel accounts for 40.7 % of the variability in sedentary time (intercept = 14.35); ^bModel accounts for 5.9 % of the variability in sedentary time (intercept = 39.86); ^cModel accounts for 10.5 % of the variability in sedentary time (intercept = 44.97); * = significant model (p < .05); CI = confidence interval; EPAO = Environment and Policy Assessment and Observation; FDK = full-day kindergarten
