We investigated whether relative abdominal adipose tissue (AAT) distribution characterises metabolic risk beyond general adiposity.

Abstract Movement behaviours, including moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA), light-intensity physical activity (LPA), sedentary behaviour (SB), and sleep, influence childhood adiposity. However, their collective impact on adiposity from a sex-specific perspective remains underexplored. Our research examined the sex-specific longitudinal associations of 24-h movement behaviours with body mass index (BMI) and abdominal adiposity among children.
