Systematic Review of Adolescent Rest-Activity Rhythm Patterns

Camila Koike's 2024 scoping review synthesizes findings from 19 studies involving 16,717 adolescents and young adults aged 10–19. It examines patterns of rest-activity rhythms and their associations with demographic, physical, and psychological factors. The document was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze associations between RAR variables like interdaily stability and demographic factors such as age and sex.
• Model correlations between RAR metrics like fragmentation or acrophase and cardiometabolic risk factors.
• Investigate links between specific RAR outcomes, such as reduced peak daytime activity, and psychological health indicators.
• Compare methodological variables like device type, epoch length, and recording duration across the 19 included studies.

Strengths

• Synthesizes data from 19 studies with a total of 16,717 participants.
• Extracts specific RAR variables and associated factors across demographic, physical, and psychological domains.

Limitations

• Findings are highly heterogeneous with limited generalizability due to methodological inconsistencies.
• The dataset is a 873.9 KB document, not a structured data table, limiting direct computational analysis.
• The underlying studies vary in quality, as noted by the author.
