Emerging evidence suggests that meeting the 24-h movement guidelines is associated with optimal mental health. However, there remains some uncertainty regarding this association in children. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the association between meeting the 24-h movement guidelines and psychosocial health in children.
A cross-sectional study design was employed to investigate 2005 children aged 9-12 years from four districts of Shanghai, China. The 24-h movement behaviours were assessed using selected items from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey questionnaire. Children's self-rated psychosocial health was evaluated using the Strengths or Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Generalised Linear Models with the ordinal logistic module were employed to analyse the association between meeting the 24-h movement guidelines and psychosocial health.
The overall prevalence of meeting all three 24-h movement recommendations was 10.2%. Among children, 7.9% of them exhibited abnormal total difficulties, with a notable difference between sex (boys: 11.2%, girls: 7.0%, p = 0.001). Meeting all three 24-h movement behaviour recommendations was associated with reduced total difficulties, emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity and peer problems. Furthermore, a dose-response association was observed, indicating that meeting a greater number of 24-h movement behaviour recommendations was associated with enhanced psychosocial health, particularly in boys.
The findings of this study highlight the positive association between meeting the 24-h movement guidelines and psychosocial health in children. Notably, meeting more of these recommendations was associated with a lower likelihood of experiencing psychosocial problems, with greater benefits observed in boys compared with girls.
新出现的证据表明,遵循 24 小时运动指南与最佳心理健康相关。然而,儿童中这种关联仍存在一些不确定性。因此,本研究旨在研究儿童遵循 24 小时运动指南与心理社会健康之间的关系。
采用横断面研究设计,调查了来自中国上海四个区的 2005 名 9-12 岁儿童。使用健康行为在学龄儿童(HBSC)调查问卷中的选定项目评估 24 小时运动行为。使用长处和困难问卷(SDQ)评估儿童的自我报告心理社会健康。使用广义线性模型和有序逻辑模块分析遵循 24 小时运动指南与心理社会健康之间的关系。
总体上,满足所有三项 24 小时运动建议的比例为 10.2%。在儿童中,有 7.9%的人表现出异常的总困难,性别之间存在显著差异(男孩:11.2%,女孩:7.0%,p=0.001)。满足所有三项 24 小时运动行为建议与减少总困难、情绪症状、行为问题、多动和同伴问题有关。此外,还观察到剂量反应关系,表明满足更多 24 小时运动行为建议与更好的心理社会健康相关,尤其是在男孩中。
本研究结果强调了儿童遵循 24 小时运动指南与心理社会健康之间的积极关联。值得注意的是,满足这些建议的更多建议与心理社会问题的可能性降低相关,与女孩相比,男孩的益处更大。
