24-hour movement behaviour profiles and their transition in children aged 5.5 and 8 years - findings from a prospective cohort study

Abstract

Time spent in movement behaviours, including physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB) and sleep, across the 24-h day may have distinct health consequences. We aimed to describe 24-h movement behaviour (24 h-MB) profiles in children and how profile membership changed from age 5.5 to 8 years. ; Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) ; Ministry of Health (MOH) ; National Research Foundation (NRF) ; Published version ; This research is supported by the Singapore National Research Foundation under its Translational and Clinical Research (TCR) Flagship Programme and administered by the Singapore Ministry of Health's National Medical Research Council (NMRC), Singapore- NMRC/TCR/004-NUS/2008; NMRC/TCR/012NUHS/2014.
