Accumulating evidence suggests that young children spend excessive time being sedentary. The purpose of this systematic review was to determine the relationship between sedentary behaviours and health indicators during the early years (ages 0-4 years). Using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework, this review aimed to present the best available evidence on the threshold of sedentary behaviour associated with healthy measures of adiposity, bone…

Systematic review of the relationships between sedentary behaviour and health indicators in the early years (0–4 years)

These findings continue to support the importance of minimizing screen time for disease prevention and health promotion in the early years, but also highlight the potential cognitive benefits of interactive non-screen-based sedentary behaviours such as reading and storytelling.

It is indicated that there is limited available evidence that the total volume or patterns of sedentary behaviour are associated with health in children and adolescents when accounting for moderate‐intensity to vigorous‐intensity physical activity or focusing on studies with low risk of bias.

Given the trend toward increased time in sedentary behaviors and the inconsistent current findings, additional longitudinal studies of high methodologic quality are recommended to clarify the relationships between sedentary behavior and health outcomes among young adults.

A systematic review of evidence for associations between sedentary behavior and multiple health outcomes in adults over 60 years of age found greater sedentary time was related to an increased risk of all-cause mortality in the older adults.

Screen Time and Health Indicators Among Children and Youth: Current Evidence, Limitations and Future Directions

Novel statistical approaches such as isotemporal substitution modelling and compositional analysis, as well as studies using longitudinal and experimental methodologies, are needed to better understand the health impact of excessive screen time, and to develop strategies to minimise or reverse the negative impacts of these behaviours.

A review of early influences on physical activity and sedentary behaviors of preschool‐age children in high‐income countries

This review provides a synthesis of current evidence on influences on PA and sedentary behaviors of preschool-age children in high-income countries at the various levels of the social-ecological model including intrapersonal, interpersonal, environmental, organizational, and policy.

Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines for the Early Years (aged 0-4 years).

For healthy growth and development, infants (aged <1 year) should be physically active several times daily - particularly through interactive floor-based play, and toddlers and preschoolers should accumulate at least 180 min of physical activity at any intensity spread throughout the day.
