Article Synopsis
  • The prevalence of physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep among 3- and 4-year-old children globally is unclear, highlighting the need for consistent data.
  • This study analyzed data from 14 cross-sectional studies across 33 countries to determine how many children met WHO guidelines for physical activity, screen time, and sleep over recent years.
  • Only 14.3% of the 7017 children studied met all the guidelines, with no significant differences found between countries with varying income levels regarding adherence to these health recommendations.

Integrating host movement and pathogen data is a central issue in wildlife disease ecology that will allow for a better understanding of disease transmission. We examined how adult female mule deer () responded behaviorally to infection with chronic wasting disease (CWD). We compared movement and habitat use of CWD-infected deer ( = 18) to those that succumbed to starvation (and were CWD-negative by ELISA and IHC;  = 8) and others in which CWD was not detected ( = 111, including animals that survived the duration of the study) using GPS collar data from two distinct populations collared in central Wyoming, USA during 2018-2022.

There is some, albeit inconsistent, evidence supporting sex differences in preschoolers' motor competence (MC), with these observations not uniform when analyzed by age, and cultural groups. Thus, this study examined sex differences across ages in 3- to 5-year-old children's MC. A cross-country pooled sample of 6241 children aged 3-5 years (49.
