Adherence to the Canadian 24-hour movement guidelines and vision impairment in children and adolescents: a cross-sectional study by Haoxi Zhong, Huimin Zhu, Mingjie Jiang, Jingfeng Mu

“…Meeting two guidelines also significantly reduced the risk of myopia (aOR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.59–0.97) and anisometropia (aOR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.51–1.00).ConclusionAdherence to the 24-hour movement guidelines, particularly meeting the ST and PA recommendations, was associated with a lower risk of myopia and myopic anisometropia. These findings highlight the importance of promoting balanced lifestyle behaviors, such as limiting screen time and encouraging physical activity, to mitigate vision impairment among children and adolescents.…”
