Anhedonia and 24-hour movement behaviours in adulthood by Anna-Kaisa Karppanen, Jouko Miettunen, Tuula Hurtig, Anna-Maiju Leinonen, Raija Korpelainen, Vahid Farrahi

“…Results: Physical anhedonia at age 31 was significantly associated with the composition of 24-h movement behaviour at age 46. Higher physical anhedonia was associated with lower daily time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity and light physical activity, as well as more daily time spent in sedentary behaviour in middle-aged females, but not in males. …”
