Associations between accelerometry measured physical activity and sedentary time and the metabolic syndrome: A meta-analysis of more than 6000 children and adolescents
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Metabolic syndrome is increasingly prevalent in the pediatric population. To prevent an early onset, knowledge about its association with modifiable lifestyle factors is needed. Objectives: To estimate the ... -
Developing a systems-based framework of the factors influencing dietary and physical activity behaviours in ethnic minority populations living in Europe - a DEDIPAC study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Some ethnic minority populations have a higher risk of non-communicable diseases than the majority European population. Diet and physical activity behaviours contribute to this risk, shaped by a system of ... -
Device-measured physical activity and cardiometabolic health: The Prospective Physical Activity, Sitting, and Sleep (ProPASS) consortium
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background and Aims: Physical inactivity, sedentary behaviour (SB), and inadequate sleep are key behavioural risk factors of cardiometabolic diseases. Each behaviour is mainly considered in isolation, despite clear behavioural ... -
Harmonising data on the correlates of physical activity and sedentary behaviour in young people: Methods and lessons learnt from the international Children's Accelerometry database (ICAD)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Background: Large, heterogeneous datasets are required to enhance understanding of the multi-level influences on children’s physical activity and sedentary behaviour. One route to achieving this is through the pooling and ... -
Increasing objectively measured sedentary time increases clustered cardiometabolic risk: a 6 year analysis of the ProActive study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-11-06)Aims/hypothesis: We aimed to quantify the associations between change in objectively measured sedentary and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) times and self-reported television viewing over 6 years and change ... -
Levels of physical activity among a nationally representative sample of people in early old age: results of objective and self-reported assessments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-05-03)Detailed assessment of physical activity (PA) in older adults is required to comprehensively describe habitual PA-levels in this growing population segment. Current evidence of population PA-levels is predominantly based ... -
Perceived family functioning and friendship quality: cross-sectional associations with physical activity and sedentary behaviours
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-21)Background: This study examined the association of adolescent-reported family functioning and friendship quality with objectively-measured moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary time, and self-reported ... -
Post-intervention effects on screen behaviours and mediating effect of parental regulation: The HEalth In Adolescents study – a multi-component school-based randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-02-23)Background: To improve effectiveness of future screen behaviour interventions, one needs to know whether an intervention works via the proposed mediating mechanisms and whether the intervention is equally effective among ... -
Revising on the run or studying on the sofa: prospective associations between physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and exam results in British adolescents.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-04)Background: We investigated prospective associations between physical activity/sedentary behaviour (PA/SED) and General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) results in British adolescents. Methods: Exposures were ... -
Sedentary time and physical activity surveillance through accelerometer pooling in four european countries
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-10)OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to pool, harmonise and re-analyse national accelerometer data from adults in four European countries in order to describe population levels of sedentary time and physical inactivity. ... -
Systematic mapping review of the factors influencing physical activity and sedentary behaviour in ethnic minority groups in Europe: a DEDIPAC study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-24)Background: Physical activity and sedentary behaviour are associated with health and wellbeing. Studies indicate that ethnic minority groups are both less active and more sedentary than the majority population and that ... -
Validation of thigh-based accelerometer estimates of postural allocation in 5–12 year-olds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-03)Objectives: To validate activPAL3™ (AP3) for classifying postural allocation, estimating time spent in postures and examining the number of breaks in sedentary behaviour (SB) in 5–12 year-olds. Design: Laboratory-based ... -
Variation in population levels of sedentary time in European adults according to cross-European studies: a systematic literature review within DEDIPAC
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-06-28)Background: Sedentary behaviour is increasingly recognized as a public health risk that needs to be monitored at the population level. Across Europe, there is increasing interest in assessing population levels of sedentary ...
