Prevalence of meeting 24-hour movement guidelines in China: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAdhering to 24-hour movement guidelines, encompassing physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep, is crucial for health. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of (non)adherence to these guidelines in the Chinese population.
methodFour electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and CNKI) were searched for quantitative studies published in Chinese and English between June 2016 and October 2025. Studies were included if they reported overall (non)adherence to the 24-hour movement guidelines in Chinese participants. The prevalence data from multiple studies were pooled using a random-effects model. Subgroup analyses were conducted to determine differences in prevalence across populations, regions, survey years, female percentage, and assessment methods for physical activity and sleep. Additionally, meta-regression analyses were performed to identify the sources of heterogeneity.
resultsThe meta-analysis included 68 studies, encompassing 832,027 participants. The overall pooled prevalence of meeting all three 24-hour movement guidelines was 7.6% (95% CI: 6.2%, 9.0%). Adults showed the highest adherence (17.9%, 95% CI: 11.4%, 25.4%), followed by preschoolers (13.3%, 95% CI: 11.3%, 15.4%), while children and adolescents (5.1%, 95% CI: 4.1%, 6.2%) and older adults (1.7%, 95% CI: 1.5%, 2.0%) demonstrated markedly lower adherence. Furthermore, 13.0% (95% CI: 11.0%, 14.9%) of the population met none of the guidelines, with older adults exhibiting the highest non-adherence (17.4%, 95% CI: 6.3%, 32.4%).
conclusionThis meta-analysis underscores the low adherence to 24-movement guidelines among Chinese populations. These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions to improve 24-hour movement behaviors across all age groups.
