There were similar increases in sedentary time in girls and boys between age 5-6 and 8-9, and decreases in MVPA that were more marked in girls. The similarity of multiple-imputed and complete observed data suggest that these findings may not be markedly affected by selection bias. Result support early interventions to prevent the age-related decline in children's physical activity.
