Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: To summarize indicators and describe in detail the methods used to physical activity and sedentary behavior measurement in South American preschool children. Data source: In 2017, we searched for articles on researches carried out in South American countries, which presented physical activity and/or sedentary behavior indicators in children aged two to six years. These searches were conducted in Spanish, English, and Portuguese in four electronic databases (LILACS, PubMed, SciELO, and Web of Science), Google Scholar, and in reference lists. Data summary: Out of 416 articles initially assessed, 13 composed the descriptive summary. Samples from Argentina, Brazil, and Chile were included. Three articles provided accelerometer-based estimates of moderate physical activity: 32, 70.1, and 71.3 minutes per day. The mean total sedentary behavior was 468.3 and 562.9 minutes per day and, considering the cut-off point of 2 hours per day of screen time, we found the following prevalence rates: 39.4, 40.3, and 100%. The studies adopted a wide number of instruments and strategies to evaluate those behaviors. Conclusions: Although the summary has pointed to high exposure to sedentary behavior in preschool children, with particular focus on screen time, it is essential to broaden the discussion and approximate the methods used to assess physical activity and sedentary behavior, making the evidence more comparable and strong, so as to elaborate preventive strategies and actions.
摘要目的:总结南美学龄前儿童身体活动和久坐行为的测量指标,并详细描述测量方法。数据来源:2017年,我们检索了在南美国家开展的研究的文章,这些研究提供了2至6岁儿童的身体活动和/或久坐行为指标。这些检索以西班牙语、英语和葡萄牙语在四个电子数据库(LILACS、PubMed、SciELO和Web of Science)、谷歌Scholar和参考文献列表中进行。数据摘要:在最初评估的416篇文章中,有13篇撰写了描述性摘要。包括来自阿根廷、巴西和智利的样本。三篇文章提供了基于加速度计的适度身体活动估计:每天32分钟、70.1分钟和71.3分钟。平均总久坐行为为每天468.3分钟和562.9分钟,考虑到每天屏幕时间为2小时的临界值,我们发现以下患病率:39.4%,40.3和100%。这些研究采用了大量的工具和策略来评估这些行为。结论:虽然总结指出了学龄前儿童久坐行为的高暴露,特别是屏幕时间,但有必要扩大讨论并近似用于评估身体活动和久坐行为的方法,使证据更具可比性和说服力,从而制定预防策略和行动。
