Longitudinal Changes in Children's Accelerometer-derived Activity Pattern Metrics.

Abstract：

PURPOSE:The objective of this study was to quantify age-related changes in accelerometer-derived day-level physical activity and sedentary behavior pattern metrics (i.e., number, length, and temporal dispersion of bouts and breaks) across 3 yr of middle childhood. Differences by child sex and weekend versus weekday were examined. METHOD:Children (N = 169, 54% female, 56% Hispanic; 8-12 yr old at enrollment) participated in a longitudinal study with six assessments across 3 yr. Day-level moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA; i.e., total minutes, number of short (<10 min) bouts, proportion of long (≥20 min) bouts, temporal dispersion) and sedentary behavior (i.e., total minutes, number of breaks, proportion of long (≥60 min) bouts, temporal dispersion) pattern metrics were measured using a waist-worn accelerometer (Actigraph GT3X). RESULTS:Random intercept multilevel linear regression models showed that age-related decreases in the number of short MVPA bouts per were steeper for girls than for boys (b = -1.28; 95% confidence interval (CI), -1.93 to -0.64; P < 0.01) and on weekend days than on weekdays (b = -1.82; 95% CI, -2.36 to -1.29; P < 0.01). The evenness of the temporal dispersion of MVPA across the day increased more on weekend days than on weekdays as children got older (b = -0.02; 95% CI, -0.02 to -0.01; P < 0.01). Girls had steeper age-related decreases in the number of sedentary breaks per day (b = -2.89; 95% CI, -3.97 to -1.73; P < 0.01) and the evenness of the temporal dispersion of sedentary behavior across the day (b ≤ 0.01; 95% CI, <0.01 to 0.01; P < 0.01) than did boys. Changes in sedentary behavior metrics did not differ between weekend days and weekdays. CONCLUSION:Strategies to protect against declines in short physical activity bouts and promote sedentary breaks, especially among girls and on weekend days, could reduce cardiometabolic risks.
