Physical Activity and the Home Environment in Preschool-aged Children in Urban Bangladesh

NCT04628897 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 65

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The overall goal of this study is to generate new knowledge regarding the nutritional and environmental determinants of physical activity in young children living in a densely populated urban community in Bangladesh. The investigators hypothesize that low levels of preschooler physical activity are associated with a lack of play-oriented physical attributes (i.e., total area of indoor floor space, presence and count of unsafe physical hazards, and presence and count of stationary and portable gross motor activity-oriented items) within the homes in urban Bangladesh. The investigators also hypothesized that low Hb may be associated with low physical activity levels in this population.

Conditions

  • Obesity, Childhood
  • Malnutrition
  • Anemia

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exposures

1. Total area of available floor space inside the home (m2) 2. Frequency that child plays outdoors 3. Total number of physical hazards in the home (presence of open stairwells, stove height) 4. Total number of fine-motor activity items available to the child 5. Presence of gross-motor activity items available to the child across each category (e.g., fixed, portable: ball equipment, push/pull equipment, riding equipment, rocking and twisting equipment) 6. Hemoglobin concentration (g/L).
