摘要

Purpose

The aims of this study were: (1) identify the prevalence of compliance with 24-h movement behaviour guidelines and (2) determine the association between the use of and distance to public open spaces and 24-h movement behaviour guidelines (in general and isolated behaviours) in Uruguayan preschool-aged children.

Methods

Data from the 2018 Nutrition, Child Development and Health Survey were used. Ordinal logistic regression and binary logistic regression were performed to evaluate the associations. The final sample consisted of 1,145 Uruguayan preschool-aged children.

Results

The prevalence of meeting all three 24-h movement behaviour guidelines was 9.7%. No significant associations were identified between distance to public open spaces and the frequency of use of public open spaces with compliance with the 24-h movement behaviour guidelines. Children living 5–10 blocks from a public open space had lower odds of meeting the physical activity guideline compared with those living less than 5 blocks away (odds ratio [OR] = 0.67, 95% CI 0.47–0.95, p = 0.026). However, living more than 10 blocks from a public open space was associated with higher odds of meeting the sedentary behaviour guideline compared with living less than 5 blocks away (OR = 1.85, 95% CI 1.09–3.07, p = 0.018) and the frequency of use of the public open spaces was associated with higher odds of meeting the physical activity guideline (OR = 1.03, 95% CI 1.01–1.06, p = 0.005).

Conclusions

In conclusion, Uruguayan preschool-aged children have a low level of compliance with the 24-h movement behaviour guidelines. Children living 5–10 blocks from a public open space had lower odds of meeting the physical activity guideline, while those living more than 10 blocks away had higher odds of meeting the sedentary behaviour guideline. Likewise, a higher frequency of public open space use was associated with higher odds of meeting the physical activity guideline.
