Methods: studies reporting associations between device-measured VPA and health-related factors in children and adolescents aged 3-18 years were identified through database searches (MEDLINE, EMBASE, and SPORTDiscus). Correlation coefficients were pooled if outcomes were reported by at least 3 studies, using DerSimonian-Laird random effects models. Results: data from 23 studies including 13,674 participants were pooled using random effects models. Significant associations were found between VPA at baseline and overall adiposity (r = -0.09, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): -0.15 to -0.03; p = 0.002; I-2 = 89.8%), cardiometabolic risk score (r = -0.13, 95%CI: -0.24 to -0.02, p = 0.020; I-2 = 69.6%), cardiorespiratory fitness (r = 0.25, 95%CI: 0.15-0.35; p < 0.001; I-2 = 57.2%), and total body bone mineral density (r = 0.16, 95%CI: 0.06 to 0.25; p = 0.001; I-2 = 0%). Conclusion: VPA seems to be negatively related to adiposity and cardiometabolic risk score and positively related to cardiorespiratory fitness and total body bone mineral density among children and adolescents at follow-up. Therefore, our findings support the need to strengthen physical activity recommendations regarding VPA due to its health benefits in children and adolescents.12 p.application/pdfeng© 2021 Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Shanghai University of Sport.
