dc.description.abstractThis study aims to evaluate the sedentary behavior, caloric content of snacks and sleep time of preschool children in two different regions of Portugal (Bragança and Gondomar). Participated in this study 230 healthy preschoolers (103 girls; 127 boys), of which 176 (76.5%) were from Bragança (mean age of 4.5±0.7 years) and 54 (23.5%) were from Gondomar (mean age of 4.3±1.0 years). A questionnaire about sedentary behavior, sleep time and caloric content of snacks (morning and afternoon) were answer by parents of this preschool children. The principal results of our study indicated that the preschool children slept an average of 9.9 ± 0.9 hours, spent time 1.5 ± 0.8 hours in front of television (TV) during the week, and 2.5 ± 1.5 hours during weekend. Regarding the time spent playing video games, they did 0.6 ± 0.6 hours during the week and 0.9 ± 0.9 hours during the weekend. The children morning snack had an average of 232.7 ± 100.8 kcal and the afternoon snack had an average of 350.4 ± 122.4 kcal. According to the WHO guidelines, the results of this study revealed that preschool children spent less hours sleeping, had more caloric content in the morning and afternoon snacks and spent more time in sedentary behaviors, of what is in the recommendations. These results also suggest that the children’s slept time is affected by the time they spent watching TV and playing video games.pt_PT
