TL;DR: A novel method of assessing sleep duration using data from 4,094 Whitehall II Study (United Kingdom, 2012–2013) participants aged 60–83 who wore the accelerometer for 9 consecutive days, filled in a sleep log and reported sleep duration via questionnaire is developed.

TL;DR: PA patterns appear more beneficial for health in boys during less structured school-based time periods and interventions may therefore target opportunities for girls to be physically active during these times to overcome this observed sex deficit.

TL;DR: It is suggested that CRF may have an important cardioprotective role in children and adolescents and highlights the importance of promoting CRF in youth.

TL;DR: Assessment of how sedentary behaviour and different physical activity subcomponents are associated with 10–14 year-old schoolchildren's cardiorespiratory fitness suggests that, for children, advice should focus on higher intensity physical activity and not Sedentary behaviour as a means to maintain or improve cardiorespiratory fitness.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether the hypertriglyceridemic waist (HW) phenotype and waist-to-height ratio (WHTR) are associated with cardiometabolic disorders in children and adolescents.
