Study how sitting time affects kids’ thinking and heart health
Part of Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how much children sit each day and how it relates to thinking skills and cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health. It may help researchers understand which lifestyle patterns are linked to better or worse health outcomes in children.
