简要总结
The overall goal of this study is to generate new knowledge regarding the nutritional and environmental determinants of physical activity in young children living in a densely populated urban community in Bangladesh. The investigators hypothesize that low levels of preschooler physical activity are associated with a lack of play-oriented physical attributes (i.e., total area of indoor floor space, presence and count of unsafe physical hazards, and presence and count of stationary and portable gross motor activity-oriented items) within the homes in urban Bangladesh. The investigators also hypothesized that low Hb may be associated with low physical activity levels in this population.
详细描述
Study Rationale
As the double burden of nutrition emerges in Bangladesh and other low- to middle-income countries, it is imperative to develop strategies to mitigate the adverse effects associated with both undernutrition and obesity. Identifying levels of physical activity among children is a requisite step to developing and targeting interventions to promote physical activity among young populations. Furthermore, exploring the risk factors associated with physical activity levels in young children can help better inform policy makers surrounding a public health intervention.
Goals The overall goal of the research is to generate new knowledge regarding the nutritional and environmental determinants of physical activity in young children living in a densely populated urban community in Bangladesh.

主要结局
Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity
时间窗: 3-14 days
Objectively measured accelerometry data, a continuous variable reflecting mean daily PA during the study period, expressed as mean counts per 15 seconds (cp15s). This summary measure was generated by first calculating mean daily PA, then averaging the daily means across collection days, including data between the time the child woke up until the time the child went to sleep, as reported by the caregiver on all days that met criteria for inclusion (i.e., at least 10 hours of wear time)
