  1. a The total index ranges from 0 to 60, and a higher index indicates healthier movement behaviours
  2. All models were adjusted for preschoolers’ characteristics (age, sex, number of siblings, eating habits), parents’ characteristics (age, sex, body mass index, education level), family income, family size, family structure, type of residence, and baseline outcome
