Sedentary behaviour and bone health in children, adolescents and young adults: a systematic review-supplementary presentation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sedentary behaviour (SB) is a potential risk factor for suboptimal bone deposition in youth.

Results

Total SB was negatively associated with lower extremity bone outcomes, while no association was observed with total body bone outcomes. Insufficient evidence was found for an association between total SB and lumbar spine bone outcomes.

Conclusion

This review highlights the heterogeneity of the available evidence and emphasizes the need for well-designed studies.
