Related Data for: Quality of life and meeting 24-h WHO guidelines among preschool children in Singapore

The objective of the study was to determine the proportion of preschool children under 5 years old meeting the 24-h World Health Organisation guidelines on physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep. Another objective was to examine the association between the health-related quality of life and meeting these guidelines among preschool children in Singapore. Parents completed an online and anonymous SMALLQ® (Surveillance of digital Media hAbits in earLy chiLdhood Questionnaire) on children’s physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep. Meeting the 24-h WHO guidelines meant, within a 24-h period, (i) having at least 180 min of physical activity (ii) engaging in less than 60 min of screen media and (iii) having 10–13 h of good quality sleep. Parent-reported health-related quality of life of the children was determined using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™, collected online at the same time. Parent-reported data showed that 12.6% met none while 9.6% of preschool children met all the WHO guidelines. 70.7%, 56.9% and 26.5%, of preschool children respectively, achieved the sleep, physical activity and screen media use guidelines within a 24-h period. 40.5% met two guidelines while 37.4% met one guideline. Significant differences were detected in the health-related quality of life among preschool children who met all, none, or met 1–2 of the WHO guidelines (i.e. total health score: 82.9 ± 12.4 vs. 76.4 ± 15.1 vs. 78.6 ± 14.5%, p < 0.05; ƞ2 = 0.008–0.11). Our results show that the health-related quality of life of preschool children increased with the number of WHO guidelines accomplished.

本研究旨在明确5岁以下学龄前儿童符合世界卫生组织（World Health Organisation, WHO）24小时体力活动、久坐行为及睡眠指南的比例。另一研究目标为探讨新加坡学龄前儿童的健康相关生活质量与符合上述指南之间的关联。
家长完成了针对儿童体力活动、久坐行为及睡眠情况的线上匿名SMALLQ®（幼儿数字媒体习惯监测问卷，Surveillance of digital Media hAbits in earLy chiLdhood Questionnaire）。符合24小时WHO指南的标准为：在24小时周期内，(i) 累计完成至少180分钟体力活动；(ii) 屏幕媒体使用时长少于60分钟；(iii) 获得10至13小时的高质量睡眠。同时在线收集的儿童健康相关生活质量由家长通过儿科生活质量量表™（Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™）进行报告评定。
家长报告数据显示，12.6%的学龄前儿童未符合任何一项指南，9.6%的儿童符合全部三项WHO指南。分别有70.7%、56.9%及26.5%的学龄前儿童在24小时内达到睡眠、体力活动及屏幕媒体使用的指南要求。40.5%的儿童符合两项指南，37.4%的儿童仅符合一项指南。在符合全部、未符合或符合1-2项WHO指南的学龄前儿童中，其健康相关生活质量存在显著差异（总体健康得分分别为82.9±12.4、76.4±15.1、78.6±14.5，p<0.05；η²=0.008–0.11）。本研究结果表明，学龄前儿童的健康相关生活质量随符合WHO指南项数的增加而显著提升。
