Physical activity was assessed by the Actigraph accelerometer for 4 days and summarized as time spent sedentary (accelerometer counts &amp;lt;500\/min), in light-intensity (accelerometer counts 500\u20132,000\/min), and in moderate- and vigorous-intensity activity (accelerometer counts &amp;gt;2,001\/min). We measured total and central fat mass by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Insulin resistance was expressed as the homeostasis model assessment score.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>RESULTS\u2014Time (min\/day) spent sedentary was significantly and positively associated with insulin resistance (\u03b2-coefficient = 0.001 [95% CI 0.0002\u20130.002]; P = 0.013). Time spent in moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity (\u22120.002 [\u22120.003 to \u22120.001]; P = 0.0009) and overall physical activity (\u22120.001 [\u22120.008 to 0.003]; P &amp;lt; 0.0001) were significantly and inversely associated with insulin resistance. All associations remained statistically significant, although they were attenuated after further adjustments for sex, birth weight, sexual maturity, and total or central fat mass (P &amp;lt; 0.03).<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>CONCLUSIONS\u2014Physical activity is associated with insulin resistance independent of total and central fat mass in children. Our results emphasize the importance of decreasing sedentary behavior and increasing time spent in moderate- and vigorous-intensity activity in children, which may have beneficial effects on metabolic risk factors regardless of the degree of adiposity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2337\/dc07-1286","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,28]],"date-time":"2008-02-28T03:30:20Z","timestamp":1204169420000},"page":"569-575","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2337\/ada-journal-policies","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":138,"title":["Objectively Measured Time Spent Sedentary Is Associated With Insulin Resistance Independent of Overall and Central Body Fat in 9- to 10-Year-Old Portuguese Children"],"prefix":"10.2337","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Luis B.","family":"Sardinha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Human Movement, Technical University of Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Lars Bo","family":"Andersen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Medicine, Norwegian School of Sports Sciences, Oslo, Norway"}]},{"given":"Sigmund A.","family":"Anderssen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Medicine, Norwegian School of Sports Sciences, Oslo, Norway"}]},{"given":"Ana L.","family":"Quite\u0301rio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Human Movement, Technical University of Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Ornelas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Education and Sport, University of Madeira, Madeira, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Karsten","family":"Froberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark"}]},{"given":"Chris J.","family":"Riddoch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sport and Exercise Science, Bath University, Bath, U.K"}]},{"given":"Ulf","family":"Ekelund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit, Institute of Metabolic Science, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, U.K."},{"name":"School of Health and Medical Sciences, O\u0308rebro University, O\u0308rebro, Sweden"}]}],"member":"1167","reference":[{"key":"2022031217493867200_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Lobstein TJ, James WP, Cole TJ: Increasing levels of excess weight among children in England.
