American Journal of Epidemiology, 09/25/09
Maximova K et al. – These results support prevention of declines in MVPA during adolescence to prevent higher blood pressure in youth.
Methods- Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and anthropometric factors were assessed biannually (1999/2000, 2002, and 2004) in a cohort of 1,293 Canadian adolescents aged 12–13 years in 1999.
- Self–reported 7–day recall data on moderate–to–vigorous physical activity (MVPA) sessions >=5 minutes in duration were collected every 3 months over the 5–year period.
- Estimates of initial level and rate of decline in number of MVPA sessions per week from individual growth models were used as predictors of SBP in linear regression models.
- A decline of 1 MVPA session per week with each year of age was associated with 0.29–mm Hg and 0.19–mm Hg higher SBPs in girls and boys, respectively, in early adolescence (ages 12.8–15.1 years) and 0.40–mm Hg and 0.18–mm Hg higher SBPs, respectively, in late adolescence (ages 15.2–17.0 years).
- The associations were not attenuated by changes in body mass index, waist circumference, or skinfold thickness in girls during late adolescence.
- Although weaker, associations were evident in boys during late adolescence, as well as in both girls and boys during early adolescence.
