Project description:BackgroundThe relationship between 24-hour (24-h) movement guidelines and frailty remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the associations between meeting 24-h movement guidelines and frailty and to conduct secondary analyses by age, gender, and ethnicity.MethodsIn this study, we extracted data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2018) database. A total of 5,726 participants (50.25 ± 0.31 years) were included in this analysis, representing 38,240,356 noninstitutionalized U.S.IndividualsThree 24-h movement behaviors, namely, physical activity, sedentary behavior (SB), and sleep, were self-reported using the standardized questionnaires. The 49-item frailty index was used to measure frailty. Multivariable logistic regression models and trend tests were used to examine the associations between meeting 24-h movement guidelines and frailty. Sensitivity analyses were also conducted to ensure the robustness of our results.ResultsThe total age-adjusted prevalence of frailty was 30.5%. In the fully adjusted model, compared with not meeting any of the 24-h movement guidelines, the adjusted odds ratios (AORs) of frailty were 0.786 (95% CI: 0.545, 1.133), 1.161 (95% CI: 0.787, 1.711), and 0.915 (95% CI: 0.616, 1.358) for participants meeting only moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), only SB, and only sleep guidelines, respectively, but no statistically significant differences were observed (all P values > 0.05). Participants who met the SB + sleep guidelines (AOR = 0.613, 95% CI: 0.423, 0.887), MVPA + sleep guidelines (AOR = 0.389, 95% CI: 0.255, 0.593), and MVPA + SB guidelines (AOR = 0.555, 95% CI: 0.383, 0.806) presented a significantly lower risk of frailty by 39%, 61%, and 45%, respectively. Meeting all 3 guidelines (AOR = 0.377, 95% CI: 0.264, 0.539) and meeting 2 guidelines (AOR = 0.527, 95% CI: 0.377, 0.736) were associated with a lower risk of frailty (P value < 0.001), showing a linear trend (P for trend < 0.001). The strength of these associations varied somewhat by age, gender, and ethnicity.ConclusionsSignificant associations between the 24-h movement guidelines and frailty were observed among U.S. adults. Future studies are warranted to examine the causality and trajectory of these associations.

Project description:BackgroundTime spent in physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB), and sleep always takes up the whole day. New public health guidelines combining recommendations for PA, SB, and sleep have been issued in several countries. Thailand was the first country to release the 24-h guidelines for adults. Currently, there is no evidence on the population prevalence of meeting 24-h movement guidelines in Thailand. This study, therefore, aimed to determine 15-year trends and associations of meeting 24-h movement guidelines among Thai adults.MethodWe analysed cross-sectional data from 2001, 2004, 2009, and 2015 Thai Time-Use Surveys, coded using the International Classification of Activities for Time-Use Statistics (ICATUS). All ICATUS-based activities were categorised into moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA), light PA (LPA), SB, and sleep based on a previously developed classification system. A total of 167,577 adult participants were included. The participants were classified according to the Thai 24-h movement guidelines into meeting or not meeting the following criteria: 1) ≥150 min/week of MVPA; 2) interrupting SB every 2 h; 3) sleeping 7-9 h per day; and 4) adhering to all three guidelines.ResultsIn 2015, the prevalence of adults who met the MVPA, SB, sleep, and overall recommendations was 81.7, 44.6, 56.4, and 21.3%, respectively. A significant linear increase was found for the prevalence of meeting the SB recommendation, while the prevalence meeting the MVPA, sleep, and overall recommendations was lowest in 2001, peaked in 2004 or 2009, and declined in 2015. The lowest odds for meeting the 24-h guidelines were found among males, those living in urban areas, inhabitants of Bangkok and South Thailand, unemployed, and those with low education level.ConclusionsDespite promising trends in the prevalence of meeting PA, SB, and sleep recommendations, a majority of Thai adults still do not meet the overall 24-h movement guidelines. Further actions are needed to promote more MVPA, less SB, and adequate sleep in Thai adults, particularly among males, those living in urban areas, inhabitants of Bangkok and South Thailand, unemployed, and those with low education level.
