Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of chronotype characteristics on cardiovascular health behaviors in school-age children. This descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional study involved 424 school-age children aged 10-12. Participants completed the Morningness-Eveningness Scale for Children (MESC) and the Cardiovascular Health Behavior Scale for Children (CHBSC). The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariate regression analysis, adhering to ethical principles throughout the study. The mean MESC and CHBSC scores for the children were 28.37 ± 5.20 and 57.04 ± 11.34, respectively. 53.8% of the children exhibited moderate cardiovascular health behaviors, while 79% had a moderate chronotype. A moderate negative correlation was observed between MESC and CHBSC scores (r = -0.39, p < 0.01), with the MESC explaining 16% of the variance in cardiovascular health behaviors. The MESC influenced cardiovascular health behaviors and its subscales nutrition, exercise, sedentary lifestyle, self-love, and stress subscales. Most school-age children display intermediate chronotype characteristics and cardiovascular health behaviors. Children with an evening chronotype demonstrated lower levels of cardiovascular health behaviors. Chronotype characteristics had the most negative impact on the sedentary lifestyle aspect of cardiovascular health behaviors. Furthermore, chronotype plays a significant role in explaining the key factors influencing cardiovascular health behaviors.

学龄儿童时型特征对心血管健康行为的影响：一项横断面研究

本研究旨在探讨时间型特征对学龄儿童心血管健康行为的影响。这项描述性、相关性和横断面研究涉及424名10-12岁的学龄儿童。参与者完成了儿童早晚性量表（MESC）和儿童心血管健康行为量表（CHBSC）。在整个研究过程中遵循伦理原则，采用描述性统计和多元回归分析对结果进行分析。患儿MESC和CHBSC平均评分分别为28.37±5.20分和57.04±11.34分。53.8%的儿童表现为中度心血管健康行为，79%的儿童表现为中度睡眠类型。MESC与CHBSC评分呈中度负相关(r = -0.39, p

期刊介绍： Chronobiology International is the journal of biological and medical rhythm research. It is a transdisciplinary journal focusing on biological rhythm phenomena of all life forms. The journal publishes groundbreaking articles plus authoritative review papers, short communications of work in progress, case studies, and letters to the editor, for example, on genetic and molecular mechanisms of insect, animal and human biological timekeeping, including melatonin and pineal gland rhythms. It also publishes applied topics, for example, shiftwork, chronotypes, and associated personality traits; chronobiology and chronotherapy of sleep, cardiovascular, pulmonary, psychiatric, and other medical conditions. Articles in the journal pertain to basic and applied chronobiology, and to methods, statistics, and instrumentation for biological rhythm study.
