Abstract
Background
Time spent in physical activities, sedentary behavior and sleep during the day are interrelated and are differentially associated with executive functioning (EF). Most studies have not analyzed these three activities simultaneously when examining this association. We examined the association between these activities and EF, and estimated the influence of time reallocation of sedentary behavior (TV watching) for other activities on EF.
Methods
Baseline data (≥40y) from Lifelines Cohort study (n = 58,582) was used to assess the association between self-reported time spent in TV-watching, sleep, and physical activities (active commuting, leisure, sports, household, and work) with EF (Ruff Figural Fluency Test) using multivariable linear regression. Isotemporal substitution analyses were applied to estimate the impact of time replacement of TV-watching by other activities on CP. Analyses were stratified by age (middle age (<60y) and older adults) and sleep duration (short, normal (7–8 h/day), and long).
Results
In participants with normal sleep (75%), TV-watching time was inversely associated with EF in middle aged (β −0.30, 95%CI -0.41, −0.19) and older (β −0.33, 95%CI -0.51, −0.14) participants. Replacing 30 min of TV-watching with leisure (β 0.22, 95%CI 0.11, 0.34), sports (β 0.51, 95%CI 0.48, 0.97), household (β 0.21, 95%CI 0.09, 0.33), or work (β 0.39, 95%CI 0.28, 0.50) showed a stronger and positive association with EF. Associations were less pronounced in short sleepers, and absent among long sleepers aged ≥60y.
Conclusion
Substituting 30 min of TV-watching by with physical activities may be a potential strategy to improve or preserve EF. Future research should explore this theoretical implication.
期刊介绍:
The aims of Mental Health and Physical Activity will be: (1) to foster the inter-disciplinary development and understanding of the mental health and physical activity field; (2) to develop research designs and methods to advance our understanding; (3) to promote the publication of high quality research on the effects of physical activity (interventions and a single session) on a wide range of dimensions of mental health and psychological well-being (eg, depression, anxiety and stress responses, mood, cognitive functioning and neurological disorders, such as dementia, self-esteem and related constructs, psychological aspects of quality of life among people with physical and mental illness, sleep, addictive disorders, eating disorders), from both efficacy and effectiveness trials;
