Chronodisruption and diet associated with increased cardiometabolic risk in coronary heart disease patients: the CORDIOPREV study

Association between Chronotype, Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour: A Systematic Review

“…Some of the studies focused on specific populations, such as women with polycystic ovary syndrome [ 44 ], participants with obesity or overweight [ 45 , 48 ], type 2 diabetes [ 46 ], prior cardiovascular disease [ 47 ] or adults during a COVID-19 lockdown [ 36 ]. A total of 4 out the 23 studies are focused on university students with a mean age below 25 years old [ 26 , 27 , 42 , 43 ].…”

“…A total of 4 out the 23 studies are focused on university students with a mean age below 25 years old [ 26 , 27 , 42 , 43 ]. Concerning the design of the included studies, most of the publications were cross-sectional observational studies and only five were longitudinal studies [ 27 , 31 , 35 , 45 , 47 ].…”

“…On the other hand, three studies [ 38 , 45 , 47 ] collected, besides MEQ as a subjective measurement of chronotype, an objective measurement using actigraphy devices. Accelerometers make it possible to measure bedtime and wake time determined from sleep–wake logs.…”

“…The lower the value of the acrophase, the earlier the peak activity. In order to estimate the objective chronotype, Fárkova et al [ 45 ] analysed acrophase of activity collected by actigraphy, whereas Romero-Cabrera et al [ 47 ] employed acrophase of an integrative variable combining temperature, activity and position.…”

“…The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) [ 56 ] is a self-reported questionnaire to assess PA levels over the past week and it was used to collect PA in five studies [ 27 , 30 , 31 , 33 , 48 ] in its long version or a short form. Other included studies collected self-reported PA using other questionnaires, such as the Baecke questionnaire [ 34 ], the Minnesota Leisure Time Activity Questionnaire [ 47 ] or other self-reported questionnaires [ 26 , 29 , 36 , 37 , 39 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ]. In some studies, the PA has been collected with just one question recall [ 42 , 43 , 44 ] or participation in sports [ 32 ].…”
