ABSTRACT

Objective. To examine the prevalence and trends in physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep in Mexican adolescents, and their association with sociodemographic factors. Materials and methods. A cross-sectional study with data from adolescents aged 15-19 years from the Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición 2012 to 2022-2024. Generalized linear models were used to compare daily minutes and prevalence by survey, and logistic regression was used to analyze associations with sociodemographic factors. Results. Women, individuals under 18 years old, and those who do not work, as well as those with higher well-being and living in urban areas, reported fewer minutes per day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Daily sitting time increased from 2012 to 2022-2024 in almost all groups. Noncompliance with the three behavior recommendations increased from 2012 to 2022-2024. Women, adolescents under 17, those who do not work, with high well-being and education levels, living in urban areas and in the north of the country were more likely to fail to meet one or all three recommendations. Conclusions. There are inequalities in compliance with the three behaviors (physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep) among Mexican adolescents; especially among girls, those residing in urban areas, those with higher levels of education and a higher level of wellbeing, and those residing in the north of the country.
