Associations Between Sedentary Behaviors and Sedentary Patterns with Metabolic Syndrome in Children and Adolescents: The UP&DOWN Longitudinal Study
Few associations between SB modalities and the MetS score were found, mainly in adolescents and often in unexpected directions. In male adolescents, total and educative daily SB were negatively associated with MetS. In female adolescents, other daily SB and changes in educative daily SB showed negative associations, while changes in screen-based and other daily SB were positively associated with MetS. No associations were found between SP and MetS. Given the low evidence available to date, more longitudinal studies analyzing SB and SP simultaneously are needed to reach solid conclusions.
