Physical activity (PA) and dietary habits (DH) play a crucial role on quality of life and health outcomes from various aspects.
This study aims to investigate the relations between recommended daily levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in 8 to 9 year old pupils, and their body mass index (BMI), DH, cognitive functions and attention problem scores by network analysis. Study participants were split into two groups based on their MVPA levels on weekdays.
Our findings suggest that children who reach recommended MVPA levels consume more vegetables and fruits, eat breakfast more frequently, have better motor speed and lower impulsivity score.
The number of interlinkages between various parameters in network structure for children who do not reach recommended MVPA levels is greater and more intense, highlighting the differences between the groups and suggesting that different interventions and approaches to improve/change lifestyle habits might be used.
体力活动(PA)和饮食习惯(DH)从多个方面对生活质量和健康结果起着至关重要的作用。
本研究旨在通过网络分析调查 8 至 9 岁小学生日常推荐的中等到剧烈体力活动(MVPA)水平与他们的体重指数(BMI)、DH、认知功能和注意力问题评分之间的关系。研究参与者根据他们工作日的 MVPA 水平分为两组。
我们的研究结果表明,达到推荐 MVPA 水平的儿童摄入更多的蔬菜和水果,更频繁地吃早餐,运动速度更快,冲动得分更低。
未达到推荐 MVPA 水平的儿童网络结构中各参数之间的相互联系数量更多、更强烈,突出了两组之间的差异,并表明可能需要使用不同的干预和方法来改善/改变生活方式习惯。
