Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are four times more common in males than in females, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We characterized sexually dimorphic changes in mice carrying a heterozygous mutation in Chd8 (Chd8+/N2373K) that wa
Sedentary behaviour is an important consideration alongside physical activity when examining the contribution of both behaviours to the health of children and adolescents [7]. Sedentary behaviour is defined as any waking behaviour characterized by an energy expenditure ≤1.5 metabolic equivalents while in ...
Self-efficacy, social support and motivation are important considerations for physical activity promotion among females [43] and self-determination theory has emerged as a popular framework for examining the relationship between motivation and physical activity [44]. Another important consideration for the...
In addition, the measures relied predominately on self-report, and accordingly were subject to recall and social desirability biases. There may be unknown confounders that were not measured or considered in this analysis; however, many known or suspected confounders of the relationship between age ...
We used self-reported measures to assess physical activity participation and sedentary behavior, which could be subject to reporting biases.44 However, using accelerometry and processing minute-by-minute recordings to quantify activity or inactivity over 8 years in more than 1000 participants would be ...
Cognitive function, physical activity, and depressive symptoms are intertwined in later life. Yet, the nature of the relationship between these three variables is unclear. Here, we aimed to determine which of physical activity or cognitive function media
Body mass index (BMI) was the focus of two-thirds of studies (n = 50) examining correlates of physical activity and was also the focus of 61% of the studies (n = 25) investigating correlates of sedentary behavior. Physical fitness accounted for 66% of studies reporting outcomes of ...
(1) Background: Research examining whether activity engagement is related to cognitive functioning in older adults has been limited to using retrospective reports of activity which may be affected by biases. This study compared two measurements (estimated weekly versus reported daily), and whether thes...

Examining depressive symptoms on a continuous scale instead of using dichotomized outcome variables may ...
