Pediatr Obes: Increased physical activity time reduces the risk of metabolic syndrome.

Metabolic syndrome is becoming more and more common in children.
to prevent early onset, it is necessary to understand its relationship to changeable lifestyle factors.
study aims to assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and to study its association with physical activity and sedentary time.
6,009 children and adolescents who were included in eight studies of the International Cooperative Database for Children.
use accelerometers to measure physical activity and sedent time.
is based on the International Diabetes Alliance's standard definition of metabolic syndrome.
the Logistic regression model, which was corrected by gender, age, and monitor wear time, was used to examine the association between physical activity, sedentary time, and metabolic syndrome in each study, and to analyze the combined effect estimates using a random effect meta-analysis.
results showed that the overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 2.9%.
in the original model, a 10-minute increase in moderate to high-intensity physical activity and high-intensity physical activity was negatively associated with metabolic syndrome (OR 0.88,95% CI 0.82-0.94, OR 0.80,95% CI 0.70-0.92).
sedentary time by 1 hour was positively associated with metabolic syndrome (OR 1.28, 95% CI 1.13-1.45).
time corrected for sedentary periods, the association between moderate to high-intensity physical activity and metabolic syndrome remained close . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
