Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between 24-hour movement behaviors and growth, motor, and social-emotional development in early childhood
The composition of 24-hour movement behaviors was significantly associated with BMI z-scores and gross motor development, but not social-emotional development in children aged 0-4 years. Evidence on the optimal distribution of movement behaviors remains unclear and needs further examination in larger longitudinal studies.
