INS and metabolic syndrome: Increasing the time in VPA at the expense of the other behaviours at 4 years was associated with lower values for several CVD risk factors measured at 9 years of age, i.e., MetS score (B = − 0.831, P = 0.049), waist circumference (B = − 4.211, P = 0.015), systolic BP (B = − 5.572, P = 0.015), diastolic BP (B = − 2.931, P = 0.044), triglycerides (B = − 0.229, P = 0.034), glucose (B = − 0.325, P = 0.032), insulin (B = − 5.114, P = 0.001), and HOMA-IR (B = − 0.673, P = 0.001).
