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.
