Accelerometer-based sedentary time and physical activity from childhood through young adulthood with progressive cardiac changes: a 13-year longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Longitudinal evidence on the relationship of sedentary time (ST), light-intensity physical activity (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) with changes in cardiac structure and function in the paediatric population is scarce. This evidence is clinically important due to the impact ST can have on the long-term prognosis of healthy young population in the lifetime continuum. This prospective observational study examined the relationships of cumulative ST, LPA, and MVPA from childhood with longitudinal changes in cardiac structure and function.

Methods and results

This is a secondary analysis from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, UK birth cohort of 1682 children aged 11 years. Participants who had at least one follow-up timep
