Introduction: The association between habitual sleep patterns and nutrition intake is not fully understood, especially in adolescents. We investigated the association between habitual sleep duration and its variability with nutrition intake in population-based adolescents of the Penn State Child Cohort (PSCC) follow-up examination. Methods: An actigraph (GT3X) and a ...
Introduction: Chronic sleep problems in adults have been associated with abdominal obesity and cardiometabolic disorders. However, associations between habitual sleep patterns and central obesity have not been fully understood, especially in adolescents. We investigated the associations between habitual sleep duration and its variability and body fat distribution in population-based adolescents ...
Introduction: Night-to-night variability of sleep variables derived from actigraphy or sleep diary data appears to be a novel risk factor associated with physical and mental health. However, little is known about factors associated with night-to-night sleep variability. The aim of this study was to assess the association of sociodemographic and ...
Introduction: Lower levels of regular physical activity are an independent risk factor for insomnia incidence and prevalence. The impact of public health initiatives to increase physical activity on sleep outcomes of people with chronic sleep disorders remains mainly unexplored. The present trial was designed to investigate the effects on sleep ...
Introduction: Childhood obesity is a consequence of environments that disrupt the balance of energy intake and energy expenditure. Obesogenic environments consist of social norms and environmental factors that facilitate unhealthy behaviors around diet and physical activity. Nutritional knowledge and physical activity are cornerstones of every obesity treatment. The aims are ...
Abstract Introduction: Some of the chronic diseases that appear in adulthood are developed in childhood stage. There are few studies investigating the association between physical activity (PA) and cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk markets using objective measurement for apparently healthy adolescents. Aim: The primary aim of the study was to ...
Introduction: Prevalence of overweight and obesity, highly sedentary behaviors (SB) and a lack of physical activity (PA) among young children and adolescent are a major public concern. They are important risk factors for many chronic diseases such as diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. However evidence has shown that most children and ...
Introduction: Recognizing the need to accurately measure physical activity in elderly individuals and its relation with health parameters, the aim this study was to explore the relationships between objectively and subjectively measured physical activity (PA) and health parameters related to cardiovascular health in both genders. Materials and Methods: In a ...
Introduction: Studies have shown that more sedentary time is associated with adverse health effects and increased mortality risk. However, during sedentary time the degree of movement of the upper body can differ between individuals and this could be a relevant aspect of sedentary behavior. Whether movement during sedentary time is ...
Introduction: Individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) have low physical activity (PA) levels (PAL) and daily energy expenditure (DEE)(1;2). Aging process begins earlier in adults with ID(3). Nowadays it is possible to assess PAL, intensity, steps and DEE objectively through accelerometry in this population(4). Purpose: To analyze the PAL of adults (...
