PMID 40114385

WHAT IT FOUND

Helpful environments and active participation linked to more movement and better quality of life.

Adapting physical or social demands of community activities may support children, especially those born very preterm, more than targeting child impairment alone.

Key findings

01Higher community participation involvement was associated with significantly better overall quality of life and physical health scores.

02Greater environmental helpfulness was associated with increased total physical activity and better social functioning.

03Effects of environment and participation were similar for children born very preterm and term-born peers.
