“…Six studies used ordinal logistic or multinomial logistic regression models [ 2 , 28 , 73 , 74 , 86 , 93 ]. Six studies used a linear regression treating SRH as a continuous variable [ 53 , 63 , 67 , 81 , 89 , 91 ].…”

“…Of the 30 studies that examined SB and SRH, 21 studies showed a statistically significant negative relationship between SB and SRH. Nine studies did not find a significant association [ 35 , 40 , 48 , 51 , 63 , 65 , 81 , 89 , 90 ]. Two studies observed a significant relationship between SB and SRH for girls only [ 3 , 39 ], and one study found a significant relationship for boys only [ 44 ] (see Table 1 ).…”

Background Self-rated health (SRH) is an indicator that captures a person’s perception of their overall health status. The relationship between physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB) and SRH has been investigated in systematic reviews among adult and elderly populations. No systematic review to date has synthesized the relationship between PA, SB and SRH among children and adolescents. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to synthesize the associations between PA, SB and SRH in the general population of children and adolescents and to investigate the dose-response relationship between PA, SB and SRH. Methods We conducted a computer search for English language studies in the databases of MEDLINE, EMBASE and PSYCINFO that were published between 1946 and 2019. We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and the references of the identified publications for additional studies. A meta-analysis was employed to synthesize the associations between PA, SB respectively and SRH. The dose-response association was tested using a random effects meta-regression model. The review was reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Results Sixty-eight published articles were included in the final review, including 59 cross-sectional and nine longitudinal studies. We found evidence that PA was associated with better SRH, and SB was associated with lower SRH among children and adolescents. A dose-response relationship between PA and SRH was observed, where a higher level of PA was associated with better SRH than a lower level of PA. The relationship between PA, SB and SRH was observed in both boys and girls, and did not show a significant gender difference. Conclusions The findings in the systematic review suggest that health intervention programmes targeting promoting PA and reducing SB among children and adolescents may enhance their overall health status. Future research is needed to expand prospective cohort and intervention studies to address directionality and causality in the relationships between PA, SB and SRH among children and youth.

“…Elements of a physically inactive way of life are growing worldwide, which is why the importance of physical activity is vastly evolving globally and, consequently, relevant researches are conducted both on international and national levels (Fügedi et al 2009). Researchers deal with, among other issues, changes in work conditions (Digel 2005); individual preferences concerning mental or intellectual jobs; leaving behind manual labor and therefore aiming to achieve higher education (Hardmann & Stensel 2003, Fügedi et al 2009); the relationship between physical activity and health (Hardman & Stensel 2003), with sedentary behavior as a predictor of adolescents' health (Tabak et al 2012).…”

“…These observations seem to find confirmation also in the population of children and youth, since the results of HBSC's studies conduced in Poland in 2014 showed that the problem of increased body weight more often concerns boys (overweight -15-16.3%, obesity -3.0-4.2%) than girls (overweight -5.5-13.6%, obesity -0.8-1.5%) [29]. Among the leading factors contributing to the increasing number of people with excess body weight indicated are the following: increased consumption of high-calorie foods and a low level of physical activity [3,4,19,22,31,32,34]. In less numerous cases, excessive body mass is conditioned genetically (e.g.…”

Background. Body height and weight are somatic qualities largely determined by genetic factors. These qualities are also modified by the factors of external environment which have a higher impact on body mass rather than height. Objective. The aim of the research was to identify the prevalence of disorders related to body mass / height ratio in children residing in areas of diverse population numbers. A reconnaissance of cross-environmental diversification of the BMI value was also conducted. Material and Methods. The sample consisted of 593 healthy children (314 boys; 279 girls) aged 7 from large city (Wrocław), small city (Polkowice) and rural environment (villages in the Lower Silesia) in Poland. Body height and weight were measured using standard procedures and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Children's BMI categories were defined using IOTF cutoff points. Statistical analysis was carried out using ANOVA. Differences were considered significant at p < 0.05. Results. The data analysis showed a general lack of significant cross-environmental and cross-gender differences in mean values of BMI among the studies girls and boys. Prevalence of children with abnormal body mass residing in areas of diverse degree of urbanisation varies from 20% to 28%. Prevalence of underweight in 7-year-old children is intensified particularly in urban environment where it occurs in a degree comparable to overweight (9.4% vs 10.7%). Conclusions. The observed not significant differences in BMI means in the 7-year-old children, indicate the disappearing of disproportions in basic somatic parameters between children from environments of different urbanisation degree. Underweight is found in 6%-12% children, which is particularly intensified in urban environment where it occurs with prevalence comparable to the phenomenon of overweight. This suggests the need to introduce intervention measures aimed at increasing the consciousness of parents in terms of effects of malnutrition in the contexts of health risks for a developing child. STRESZCZENIEWprowadzenie. Wysokość i masa ciała to cechy somatyczne w znacznym stopniu determinowane przez czynniki genetycznie. Cechy te są modyfikowane także przez czynniki środowiskowe, które wywierają większy wpływ na masę ciała niż wysokość ciała. Cel. Celem badań było rozpoznanie częstości występowania zaburzeń w relacji masy do wysokości ciała u dzieci zamieszkujących obszary zróżnicowane pod względem liczby mieszkańców. Przeprowadzono także rozpoznanie zróżnicowania międzyśrodowiskowego wartości wskaźnika masy ciała BMI. Materiał i metody. Badaną grupę stanowiło 593 dzieci (314 chłopców i 279 dziewcząt) w wieku 7 lat pochodzących z dużego miasta (Wrocław), małego miasta (Polkowice) i obszarów wiejskich (wsie Dolnego Śląska). U badanych dokonano pomiarów wysokości i masy ciała, które posłużyły do wyliczenia wskaźnika masy ciała BMI. W celu określenia częstości występowania niedowagi, nadwagi i otyłości, użyto wartości graniczne wskaźnika BMI dla dzieci i młodzieży zaproponowane przez Cole'a i wsp....
