Many children are insufficiently active, and children with a migration background appear to be even less active and at a higher risk of developing obesity. This study evaluated the weight status, and the frequencies and intensities of objectively assessed physical activity (PA) of children with and without a migration background.
Cross-sectional study.
PA was assessed objectively for 6 days in 273 children (aged 7.1 ± 0.6 years). In total, 74 children (27%) were classified as having a migration background. PA was grouped in light and moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) intensities. Body mass index (BMI) percentiles (BMIPCT) were determined.
Children without a migration background spent more time in MVPA compared with children with a migration background (138.2 ± 62.6 vs 121.7 ± 54.9 min, respectively; P < 0.01). On weekends, time in MVPA decreased significantly for all children (112.3 ± 66.0 min, P < 0.01), especially for children with a migration background (97.7 ± 56.7 min, P < 0.01). Children with a migration background displayed significantly higher BMIPCT than children without a migration background (55.7 ± 29.6 vs 44.3 ± 26.8, respectively; P < 0.01) and were significantly more often overweight and/or obese (13.5% vs 8.5%, respectively; P < 0.02).
Children with a migration background are less physically active and more often overweight, resulting in higher risks of developing secondary diseases. The results of this study should be considered when designing interventions to increase PA in children with a migration background.

许多儿童活动量不足,而具有移民背景的儿童活动量似乎更少,肥胖风险更高。本研究评估了具有和不具有移民背景的儿童的体重状况以及通过客观评估得出的他们的身体活动(PA)频率和强度。
横断面研究。
对 273 名儿童(年龄 7.1±0.6 岁)进行了 6 天的 PA 客观评估。共有 74 名儿童(27%)被归类为具有移民背景。PA 分为低强度和中高强度。确定了体质指数(BMI)百分位数(BMIPCT)。
与具有移民背景的儿童相比,无移民背景的儿童进行中高强度 PA 的时间更多(分别为 138.2±62.6 和 121.7±54.9 分钟;P<0.01)。周末,所有儿童的中高强度 PA 时间均显著减少(112.3±66.0 分钟,P<0.01),尤其是具有移民背景的儿童(97.7±56.7 分钟,P<0.01)。具有移民背景的儿童的 BMIPCT 显著高于无移民背景的儿童(分别为 55.7±29.6 和 44.3±26.8;P<0.01),且超重和/或肥胖的比例也显著更高(分别为 13.5%和 8.5%;P<0.02)。
具有移民背景的儿童身体活动较少,超重和肥胖的情况更多,这使他们面临更高的继发疾病风险。在设计针对具有移民背景的儿童的 PA 干预措施时,应考虑本研究的结果。
