Higher screen viewing time (SVT) in childhood has been associated with adverse health outcomes, but the predictors of SVT early are poorly understood. We examined sociodemographic and behavioral total device-specific a Singaporean cohort. At ages 2 3 years, 910 children was reported by their parents. Interviewer-administered questionnaires assessed on weekdays weekends for television, computer, hand-held devices. Multivariable linear mixed-effect models were used to examine associations at...
Integrated 24-Hour Movement Guidelines provide specific recommendations on screen viewing (SV), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sleep to improve health of children youth. However, few studies have examined whether these guidelines are met in young children, particularly Asia. We evaluated adherence integrated individual its predictors 5.5-year-old Singaporean children.Growing Up Singapore towards Healthy Outcomes (GUSTO) is a mother-offspring birth cohort study. At age 5.5...
Few studies have investigated the association between screen viewing (SV) and sleep duration among young children. This study aims to examine total device-specific SV children aged 2 below. We conducted a cross-sectional of 714 Singaporean years Parents were recruited during routine well-child clinic visits from two national polyclinics. In Singapore, all parents visit clinics with their at regular intervals for check-ups vaccinations. Socio-demographic characteristics, SV, reported by via...
This study investigated physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) among preschool-aged children in Singapore potential correlates at multiple levels of the socioecological model from in-school out-of-school settings. A cross-sectional using a mixed-methods approach. Parent-child dyads six preschools Singapore. PA SB (n=72) were quantified wrist-worn accelerometers for seven consecutive days. Three focus group discussions (FGDs) 12 teachers explored diverse influences on children's...
Abstract Background Time spent in movement behaviours, including physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB) and sleep, across the 24-h day may have distinct health consequences. We aimed to describe (24 h-MB) profiles children how profile membership changed from age 5.5 8 years. Methods Children Growing Up Singapore Towards healthy Outcomes (GUSTO) cohort were asked wear an accelerometer (ActiGraph-GT3X+) on their wrist for seven consecutive days at ages years measure 24 h-MB patterns....
Limited evidence is available on real-world management of atopic dermatitis (AD) among Asian adults. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess current approaches in AD diagnosis and Asia. Practising dermatologists regularly treating patients with moderate-to-severe were recruited from eight Asia–Pacific territories, namely Mainland China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand. A survey was administered eligible after screening taking informed consent. Data fully...
Physical inactivity is a persistent and worsening population health concern in Asia. Led by the Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance, Matrix (GM) initiative provides an opportunity to explore how regional cultural differences across 18 Asian countries relate physical activity (PA) participation among children adolescents.To synthesize evidence from GM2.0 GM4.0 (2016-2022) countries.Report Card grades on behavioral/individual sources of influence indicators were reported countries.

It remains unclear how patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) and clinicians perceive the level of patient–clinician communication if there could be potential lapses. This cross-sectional study aims to compare perspectives between AD dermatologists regarding treatment expectations in Asia. Moderate-to-severe practicing were recruited from eight Asia–Pacific territories, including Mainland China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand. Patients completed separate...
The burden of atopic dermatitis (AD) is significant, with a substantial impact on quality life (QoL). This cross-sectional study aimed to ascertain the AD, its QoL, and associated costs. Patients moderate-to-severe AD were enrolled from eight territories, namely Hong Kong, India, Japan, Mainland China, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand. After screening was performed informed consent obtained, eligible participants asked provide responses their symptoms, severity, treatment,...
