The Canadian 24-hour movement behavior (24-HMB) guidelines suggest that a limited amount of screen time use, an adequate level physical activity (PA), and sufficient sleep duration are beneficial for ensuring optimizing the health quality life (QoL) children adolescents. However, this topic has yet to be examined adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) specifically. aim cross-sectional observational study was examine associations between meeting 24-HMB several QoL-related indicators...
Prolonged periods of sedentary behaviour, for instance, engendered by home confinement in Shenzhen city, has led to negative mental health consequences, especially adolescents. Previous research suggests, general, that behavior can increase emotions. However, the specific mechanism driving relationship between and emotions is still relatively unclear. Social support sleep quality might partly explain effect on Thus, current study aimed examine associations emotions, investigate if social...
Evidence-based 24-h movement behavior (24-HMB) guidelines have been developed to integrate recommendations for the time spent on physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep. For children adolescents, these 24-HMB recommend a maximum of two hours recreational screen (as part behavior), minimum 60 min per day moderate vigorous activity (MVPA), an age-appropriate sleep duration (9-11 h 5 13-year-olds; 8-10 14 17-year-olds). Although adherence has associated with positive health outcomes,...
The purpose of this study was to examine how adherence the physical activity (PA), screen‐time (ST), and sleep duration guidelines differ between youth with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) typical development (TD). A secondary objective assess PA, ST, varied among ASD by age severity. Utilizing 2016 National Survey Children's Health data, parental reports time spent in were used determine 24‐hr movement for 1008 34 489 TD. Multivariate logistic regression analyses determined that children...
To effectively combat high levels of inactivity among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), scalable and sustainable methods intervention are required.

Rationale: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a clinical manifestation of extracoronary atherosclerosis. Despite sharing the same risk factors, only 20% to 30% patients with coronary artery (CAD) develop PAD. Decline in number bone marrow–derived circulating progenitor cells (PCs) thought contribute pathogenesis Whether specific changes PCs differentiate both PAD and CAD from those alone unknown. Objective: Determine whether differences exist counts without known Methods Results: 1497...
Humanitarian organisations often work alongside those responsible for serious wrongdoing. In these circumstances, accusations of moral complicity are sometimes levelled at decision makers.

Longitudinal are needed to examine how time behaviors co-develop for without an disorder. address this research gap, study compared levels changed over (9 18 years age) between youth disorder neurotypical development. Data on moderate-to-vigorous activity, light television-, video game-based time,...
Abstract Flourishing is a positive health indicator that aligns with strengths‐based perspectives and measures within autism research. indicators were recently included in the National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) have been used to evidence disparities flourishing experienced by autistic children compared non‐autistic peers. Yet, little has done examine utility standard items for this population. This study examined NSCH caregiver‐reported measurement item bias. A cross‐sectional,...
