Article Synopsis
  • A cross-sectional study involving 797 children aged 3-4 from diverse countries found that only about 30.9% met the global guideline of 180 minutes of total physical activity (TPA) daily, as indicated by a mean daily step count of 10,295 steps.
  • The study revealed that boys, younger children, urban residents, and those from higher-income countries were less likely to meet the TPA guideline, highlighting significant sociodemographic differences in physical activity levels.
  • These results emphasize the importance of monitoring TPA in early childhood and call for potential interventions to enhance physical activity and overall health among young children worldwide.
