What does it mean to use the mean? The impact of different data handling strategies on the proportion of children classified as meeting 24-hr movement guidelines and associations with overweight and obesity.

Varying estimates of meeting the 24hrG and the odds of overweight and obesity results from different data handling strategies and days sampled. Each strategy has strengths and weaknesses. Understanding the impact of each approach on estimates is essential to identifying the association of meeting 24hrG with health outcomes and for identifying day-specific factors that may be associated with meeting 24hrG on a given day.
