Brief Summary

The prevalence of adults with overweight (50%) and obesity (15%) reached high number in Belgium. Important lifestyle behaviors, i.e. sleep, sedentary time (SB), and physical activity (PA) subdivided into light physical activity (LPA) and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), have shown an impact on overweight and obesity characteristics (e.g. adiposity). However, these behaviors have often been investigated separately. Therefore, a recent shift in research emphasizes the importance of considering these behaviors as part of a 24-hour day. Since these adults can benefit from an optimal 24-hour composition as part of a healthy lifestyle, it may be interesting to investigate the 24-hour movement composition among these adults. In addition, exploring different personal determinants, environmental determinants, and cardiometabolic markers will provide meaningful insights in developing an intervention.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• 24-hour movement behaviors

  During their visit to Ghent University hospital, participants will receive a 'wGT3X-BT' 'ActiGraph accelerometer that will objectively measure their 24-hour movement behaviors (PA, SB, and sleep). The participants will wear the accelerometer for seven consecutive days. Additionally, this accelerometer data will be supplemented with a diary to validate sleep time and (non)wear time.

  Through study completion, an average of 6 months to 1 year

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 25 Years - 64 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

One hundred seventy-two adults will be distributed into a Nw group and an OwOb group. Based on the Health Survey (2018), the general Belgian population has a prevalence of 50 percent OwOb adults. Therefore the distribution in this cross-sectional study will follow these percentages: 50 percent Nw adults (n=86) and 50 percent OwOb adults (n=86). Based on the Health Survey (2018), the group of OwOb adults can be divided into 35 percent Ow adults and 15 percent Ob adults. This represents itself in the inclusion of 60 adults (35%) with overweight and 26 adults (15%) with obesity. Adults of the Nw group will be matched with the OwOb group based on sex and age.
