Brief Summary

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
As the double burden of nutrition emerges in Bangladesh and other low- to middle-income countries, it is imperative to develop strategies to mitigate the adverse effects associated with both undernutrition and obesity. Identifying levels of physical activity among children is a requisite step to developing and targeting interventions to promote physical activity among young populations. Furthermore, exploring the risk factors associated with physical activity levels in young children can help better inform policy makers surrounding a public health intervention.
Goals The overall goal of the research 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.
Primary Objectives
The specific objectives of this study are to:
1. Describe physical activity levels in a sample of preschool-aged children in an inner-city community in Dhaka, Bangladesh,
2. Estimate the associations between characteristics of the physical environment of the home (total area of available floor space inside of the home, number and presence of physical hazards, and the number of gross motor activity-oriented items present) and the physical activity levels of preschoolers in Dhaka, and
3. Estimate the associations between hemoglobin concentration (Hb) and preschooler physical activity level.
4. Describe sleep quantity and quality in the sample of preschool-aged children in urban Bangladesh
The investigators conducted a cross-sectional observational study of preschool-aged children between 34-38 months of age (n=60) selected from the ongoing Maternal Vitamin D for Infant Growth (MDIG) trial cohort (NCT01924013) in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The investigators planned to enrol a minimum of 60 participants with complete data sets, with recruitment up to 90 participants until this enrolment target was reached.
Study Procedures

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).
Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Child and primary caregiver reside in Dhaka or urban environs;
* Parent/guardian provides written informed consent for study procedures.
Exclusion Criteria
* Major physician-diagnosed chronic respiratory or cardiac disease that limits physical activity (e.g., severe asthma, currently taking medication for symptomatic congenital heart disease, etc.).
