Adolescent Time Use and Cardiometabolic Health: A Cross-Sectional Compositional Analysis to Explore Associations Between 24-Hour Activity Behaviors and Biomarkers of Cardiometabolic Health
This is the first study to apply compositional data analysis in adolescents that has included all activity behaviors on the physical activity continuum. The findings reinforce the health benefits of MVPA for adolescents but also provide evidence to support that increasing LIPA and standing through decreasing sitting time will improve measures of adiposity, CRF, diastolic BP, and LDL-C. Future interventional research is required to confirm the present findings.
