Objective Associations between self-reported
sleep
duration and obesity indices in children are well
recognised; however, there are no studies on associations
between objectively measured other sleep parameters and
physical activity with body composition in preschoolers.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the
associations between sleep parameters and moderate-to-
vigorous
physical activity (MVPA) with body composition
indices in preschoolers using objective measures.
Design A cross-sectional
study.
Participants The study group consisted of 676 children
aged 5–6 years, who were enrolled in kindergartens in the
2017/2018 school year.
Outcome measures Sleep parameters and MVPA were
measured using accelerometers for 7 days. Bioelectrical
impedance analysis was used to estimate body
composition.
Results Sleep duration and sleep efficiency were
inversely associated with body fat percentage (BFP)
(β=−0.013 and β from –0.311 to −0.359, respectively)
and body mass index (BMI) (β from −0.005 to −0.006
and from −0.105 to –0.121, respectively), and directly
associated with fat-free
mass (FFM) (β from 0.010 to
0.011 and from 0.245 to 0.271, respectively) and muscle
mass (β from 0.012 to 0.012 and from 0.277 to 0.307,
respectively) in unadjusted and adjusted models. BFP was
inversely associated with MVPA and positively associated
with number of awakenings and sleep periods. Number
of sleep periods was inversely associated with FFM, and
positively with BMI and muscle mass. Correlation matrix
indicated significant correlation between BFP, FFM and
muscle mass with sleep duration, sleep efficiency, number
of sleep periods and MVPA.
Conclusions Periodic assessment of sleep parameters
and MVPA in relation to body composition in preschool
children may be considered, especially in those who are at
risk for obesity.
