| Abstract | PURPOSE: This dissertation examined the associations between physical activity, sedentary behavior, overweight, and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in at-risk pediatric populations in the United States and in China. Study 1 identified the independent influences of physical activity, sedentary behavior, and other weight-related correlates on overweight status in Chinese youth. Study 2 explored the influences of physical activity and sedentary behavior on MetS in US minority youth. Study 3 compared the longitudinal trends of physical activity and sedentary behavior between youth with and without MetS in a sample of US minority female youth.; METHODS: Participants were youth (ages 8-18 years) in the United States and in China. Study 1 used baseline data from of a longitudinal smoking prevention and health promotion study conducted in the 7 large cities in China for Chinese youth ages 11-18 years. Study 2 used baseline data from three related pediatric obesity studies that share a set of common methods and measures (US Latino and African American youth ages 8-18 years). Data for Study 3 are from a longitudinal, observation study for Latina and African American female youth ages 8-11 years at baseline.; RESULTS: In Study 1, Chinese youth were more likely to be overweight if they spent more time being sedentary, slept <7 hours/night, were male, were younger, participated more in vigorous physical activity, had higher levels of parental education, better self-perceived health status, a higher frequency of vegetable intake, and a lower frequency of sweet/fast food intake. In Study 2, lower levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (by accelerometry) and higher levels of sedentary behavior (by 3-day physical activity recall) are associated with increased the metabolic risk independent of each other and body composition. In Study 3, a significant decline in MVPA and an increase in sedentary behavior were observed over one year. Sedentary behavior as measured by accelerometry increased 23.42 minutes/per quarterly visit, adding up to 93.68 minutes/per year more in youth with MetS than in those without.; CONCLUSION: Overweight-related correlates seem to play different roles in the Chinese culture than in Western cultures. Findings from this dissertation support a vicious cycle of increasing inactivity, obesity, and metabolic complications. These findings, coupled with longitudinal evidence of the effects of activity levels on obesity and MetS, suggests that physical activity and sedentary behavior could function as antecedents as well as consequences of overweight or MetS in youth. |
