The association between 24‐hr movement patterns and self‐harm incidence in adolescence
Background Self‐harm is a pressing public health issue, particularly among adolescents. Physical activity is associated with reduced self‐harm among youths, but evidence is limited. Most studies rely on self‐reported measures and are primarily focused on moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity (MVPA), often overlooking the role of light‐intensity ...
