Associations Between Combinations of 24-Hour Movement Behaviors and Dietary Outcomes in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review.

: Twenty-four-hour movement behaviors, including physical activity, sedentary time, and sleep, are associated with a range of health outcomes. However, the relationship between the combinations of these behaviors and dietary outcomes in young populations remains unclear. We conducted a systematic review to explore how combined movement behaviors are linked to dietary outcomes in children and adolescents.

Effects of exergaming on executive functions of children: a systematic review and meta-analysis from 2010 to 2023.

Background: Executive function plays a crucial role in children's cognitive development, academic performance, as well as their physical and mental health. This study aims to assess the impact of exergaming on executive functions in pediatric populations.

Methods: The criteria of inclusion were randomized controlled trials of exergaming intervention and evaluation of executive function in children aged 4-12 years.

Associations of Home-Based Screen Time and Its' Changes With Follow-up Body Mass Index in Chinese Preschool-Aged Children.

This study aimed to explore the associations of screen time (ST) and its' changes with follow-up body mass index (BMI) in preschool children. Parents of 805 preschoolers participated in our study at baseline and were followed up after 1 year in China. Linear regression models were used to analyze the dynamic relationship between ST and BMI in preschool children.

Longitudinal Association of Changes in Parental Correlates With Screen Time in Chinese Preschoolers.

Background: This study aimed to explore the relationship between the changes in parent-related factors and preschoolers exceeding screen time (ST) recommendations.

Methods: A longitudinal analysis using 2-year follow-up data from 4 kindergartens (n = 409) was conducted in Zhejiang, China, from 2019 to 2021. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine the potential parental modifiable predictors.

Correlates of preschoolers' screen time in China: parental factors.

Background: With the advent of the electronic age, the prolonged screen time (ST) of preschoolers in China is relatively high and is on the rise, which is likely to affect preschoolers' physical and mental health. This study aimed to explore the factors influencing ST in preschoolers, especially the role of parental factors, and to provide a basis for the prevention, control, and intervention of ST in preschoolers in China.

Methods: A questionnaire was completed by the parents of 1,546 preschoolers from four kindergartens in Pinghu City, Zhejiang Province, China, and a multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the correlates of excessive ST in preschoolers.

Associations of Sedentary Behavior with Physical Fitness and Academic Performance among Chinese Students Aged 8-19 Years.

Background Existing evidence regarding how time spent on various types of sedentary behavior (SB) in relation to physical fitness (PF) and academic performance (AP) in children and adolescents is limited. This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the associations of SB types with PF and AP among 8-19-year-old Chinese students. Methods: A total of 1164 students were recruited from five schools in Zhejiang province, China.

Effects of School-Based Exergaming on Urban Children's Physical Activity and Cardiorespiratory Fitness: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

Background: Modern-day technology is appealing to children. Few studies, however, have conducted longitudinal analyses of a school-based exergaming program's effect on physical activity (PA) behaviors and fitness in children. Therefore, this study examined the longitudinal effect of an 8-month school-based exergaming intervention on children's objectively-measured PA and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF).

Cohort profile: the Lanxi Cohort study on obesity and obesity-related non-communicable diseases in China.

Purpose: The Lanxi Cohort was established to systematically investigate the aetiology and interplay of body fat distribution and multiple factors with obesity and obesity-related non-communicable diseases in China.

Participants: The baseline investigation of the Lanxi Cohort study took place between June 2015 and August 2017 in Lanxi, Zhejiang Province, China. Permanent residents from one urban community and four rural villages were involved in this study.

Associations of nicotine dependence and fat distribution in Chinese male adults: a cross-sectional study in Lanxi, China.

Introduction: Previous studies have showed association between smoking and central fat distribution. However, the impact of smoking on whole body fat distribution, particularly peripheral fat distribution remains unclear.

Methods: Nicotine dependence was assessed in a total of 1264 male adults aged 18-80 years using the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND).

Association between sleep quality and bone mineral density in Chinese women vary by age and menopausal status.

Objective: Sleep quality is closely related to bone health. Aging and estrogen deficiency are known determinants of poor sleep quality and osteoporosis. However, the impact of aging and menopause on the associations between sleep quality and bone mineral density (BMD) remains unclear.

Associations of Body Composition with Blood Pressure and Hypertension.

Objective: The present study investigated the associations of body composition, including skeletal muscle and fat mass, with blood pressure (BP) and hypertension.

Methods: Data from 3,130 participants aged 18 to 80 years were analyzed. Body composition and total skeletal muscle (TSM) were measured or calculated based on dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry.

Impact of Exergaming on Children's Motor Skill Competence and Health-Related Fitness: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

This study was designed to examine the effectiveness of a combined exergaming and physical education (PE) program on children's motor skill competence (MSC) and health-related fitness (HRF) as compared to traditional PE. A total of 261 second- and third-grade children (127 boys; 8.25 ± 0.

Correlates of screen time among 8-19-year-old students in China.

Background: Previous studies have shown that prolonged time spent on screen-based sedentary behavior was significantly associated with lower health status in children, independent of physical activity levels. The study aimed to explore the individual and environmental correlates of screen time (ST) among 8-19-year-old students in China.

Methods: The study surveyed ST using a self-administered questionnaire in Chinese students aged 8-19 years; 1063 participants were included in the final analysis.

Risk factors of non-specific neck pain and low back pain in computer-using office workers in China: a cross-sectional study.

Objectives: Several studies have found that inappropriate workstations are associated with musculoskeletal disorders. The present cross-sectional study aimed to identify the risk factors of non-specific neck pain (NP) and low back pain (LBP) among computer-using workers.
