Childhood cardiovascular disease risk profiles based on movement phenotypes:a longitudinal cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a significant global health concern, with many risk factors emerging in adolescence. This period is critical for prevention, as physical and behavioral patterns established during these years often persist into adulthood. Movement phenotypes, encompassing motor competence, physical capacity, and physical activity behaviours, are linked to cardiometabolic health as low competence and fitness levels in youth are associated with poor body composition and increased CVD risk. This longitudinal study aimed to (1) identify latent clusters of adolescents' movement phenotype-related CVD risk factors and (2) examine the stability of these profiles over four years. Latent profile and transition analysis were used to identify movement phenotype profiles and transit
