Background: Excessive screen time and poor sleep duration have significant implications for children's health and well-being. Understanding the dynamic relationship between screen time and sleep duration, as well as the impact of physical activity in this relationship, is essential for promoting healthy behaviours. The aims of this study were to: 1) investigate the bidirectional relationship between screen time and sleep duration in children, and 2) explore the mediating role of physical activity in these associations.

Mothers who were participants of the 2015 Pelotas (Brazil) Birth Cohort study were analyzed. Physical activity (PA) and sleep were measured using the nondominant wrist accelerometer model wGT3X-BT (ActiGraph, Pensacola, FL).

Article Synopsis
- Muscle strength, particularly handgrip strength (HGS), is crucial for healthy aging and is linked to overall health; this study aims to systematically review factors that influence HGS over time throughout adulthood.
- The research analyzed 117 longitudinal studies and found 103 factors related to HGS, categorizing them into various domains such as demographics, health conditions, and lifestyle; 10 factors showed consistent correlations with HGS, including age and inflammatory markers.
- Key findings indicate that increasing age, male sex, and cardiovascular diseases contribute to declines in HGS, while factors like education level and medication use did not significantly impact the rate of change in HGS over time.
Background: Recent statistics highlight cardiovascular diseases (CVD) as a major global cause of death. This review examines the methodological approaches and the main results of independent, stratified, and joint association of sedentary time (ST) and physical activity (PA) on CVD outcomes.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus for prospective cohorts that examined the independent, stratified, or joint associations of ST and PA with CVD outcomes.
: The objective of our study was to assess the prenatal course, associated anomalies and postnatal outcome and the predictive value of various prenatal parameters for survival in prenatally diagnosed cases of truncus arteriosus communis (TAC). : We evaluated cases from four centers between 2008 and 2021. : In 37/47 cases (78.
