Description
Zhe Zhang and co-authors pool every Chinese study on whether people meet the full 24-hour movement guidelines. The rules join three daily targets: enough activity, limited sitting, and enough sleep. The team searched four databases for work from 2016 to 2025 and combined 68 studies covering 832,027 people in a random-effects meta-analysis.
Only seven point six percent of people met all three targets. Adults did best, at seventeen point nine percent. Preschoolers were next, at thirteen point three percent. Children and teenagers managed just five point one percent. Older adults managed only one point seven percent. At the other end, 13 percent met none of the targets at all. The authors call the adherence worryingly low across every age band and urge focused programs to lift daily movement habits.
