Abstract
Physical activity and sedentary behaviour have been associated with health and developmental outcomes in young children but evidence in toddlers is scarce. The aim of this Doctorate was to conduct a number of studies that add to the evidence-base on sedentary behaviour and cardiovascular health in toddlers (0-3 years) and contribute to improving children’s health and wellbeing. This Doctorate thesis comprises a literature review, followed by five papers.
