Abstract

Studies show that the quality of life (QoL) of preschoolers is closely related to physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB), and sleep (SL). Yet many researchers looked at these 24-h movement behaviours as behaviours that are independent of one another when examining the association of QoL with these behaviours. The main purpose of the present study was to describe the temporal trends in PA, SB, and SL in preschoolers and the concomitant association with QoL of children. Annual cross-sectional data on QoL and 24-h movement behaviours of 8045 Singaporean preschoolers were collected from 2018 to 2021. Compositional analysis, linear regression, and isotemporal replacement approaches were used to examine changes in PA, SB, and SL from 2018–2021 and how these changes were associated with QoL. Temporal trends in movement behaviours showed that PA and SL decreased after 2020. During 2018–2021, the association of PA and QoL in preschoolers was characterised by a ‘U’ curve (β PA-2018 = 3.06, p < 0.001; β PA-2019 = 1.43, p < 0.05; β PA-2020 = −0.43, p > 0.05; β PA-2021 = 2.82, p < 0.001), while SL and QoL were characterised by an inverted ‘U’ curve (β SL-2018 = −2.39, p < 0.001; β SL-2019 = −0.27, p > 0.05; β SL-2020 = 2.00, p < 0.01; β SL-2021 = −0.21, p > 0.05). SB was significantly and negatively associated with QoL after 2020, with 2020 identified as the inflection point for the change in SB (β SB-2018 = 0.67, p > 0.05; β SB-2019 = −1.16, p > 0.05; β SB-2020 = −1.56, p < 0.01; β SB-2021 = −2.61, p < 0.01). Using a time re-allocation technique to treat the 2021 data, reallocating time from SB to PA or to SL predicted improvements in QoL of preschoolers (P all < 0.05). The study provided useful information on the temporal trends in PA, SB, SL, and QoL of preschoolers over four years. Additionally, these data provided insights into how changes in QoL are predicted by changes in duration in the 24-h movement behaviours.
