The impact of physical activity during early-life is significant on long-term health outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine what factors contribute to the continuity or change in activity behaviors over time.

Methods

Out of 21,700 children born on Oct 1st, 1997 to Oct 1st, 1999, 17,055 (78.6%) were included in ABIS (All Babies in southeast Sweden) of whom 16,415 participants were included in this longitudinal prospective population-based birth cohort.
