Abstract The objective of this study was to examine the combined associations between time spent in moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) and time spent sedentary in relation to cardiometabolic risk factors in a cohort of Canadian children. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 536 white children aged 8–10 years with at ...
Objective To investigate the independent associations between objectively measured levels of movement intensity (i.e. time spent sedentary and at light, moderate and vigorous intensities) and indicators of adiposity in a cohort of Canadian children.
Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in 550 Caucasian children aged 8–10 years with at least one ...
Background Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption is linked to weight gain and metabolic syndrome (MetS) components in children, but whether these associations are modified by excess weight and glucose tolerance status in children is not known.
Objective The objective of this study was to examine the cross-sectional associations between SSB intake ...
Objective To investigate the association of sleep duration with adiposity and to determine if caloric intake and physical activity mediate this relationship.
Methods The Quebec Adiposity and Lifestyle Investigation in Youth (QUALITY) study is an ongoing longitudinal investigation of Caucasian children with at least one obese biological parent. Children (n=550) ...
Purpose The purpose of this study was to test if moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in less than the recommended ≥10-minute bouts related to weight outcomes.
Design Secondary data analysis.
Setting Random sample from the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population included in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (...
Objective:
Examine the association between sedentary behavior and psychiatric symptoms among overweight and obese adults with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders (SZO/SA).
Design:
Randomized clinical trial; Weight Assessment and Intervention in Schizophrenia Treatment (WAIST) Study: baseline data collected 2005-2008.
Setting:
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Participants:
Community-dwelling ...
Objectives:
To measure sleep duration in 7-year-old children; identify the determinants of sleep duration; and assess the association between short sleep duration and obesity, cognitive functioning, and behaviour. Design: Longitudinal study with disproportionate sampling of the participants.
Setting:
Community.
Participants:
591 seven-year-old children, of whom 519 had complete sleep data.
Interventions:
Not ...
Background:
Physical activity (PA) and related energy
expenditure (EE) is often assessed by means of a single
technique. Because of inherent limitations, single techniques
may not allow for an accurate assessment both PA and related
EE. The aim of this study was to develop a model to accurately
assess common ...
Background:
This pragmatic evaluation investigated the effectiveness of the Children’s Health, Activity and Nutrition: Get Educated! (CHANGE!) Project, a cluster randomised intervention to promote healthy weight using an educational focus on physical activity and healthy eating.
Methods:
Participants (n = 318, aged 10–11 years) from 6 Intervention and 6 Comparison schools took part in ...
Background:
Eating breakfast is believed to promote a healthy body weight. Yet, few studies have examined the contribution of energy balance–related behavioral factors to this relation in minority youth.
Objective:
We assessed the associations between breakfast consumption and dietary intake, physical activity (PA), and adiposity before and after accounting ...
