The Dose-Response Relationship Between Physical Activity and Cardiometabolic Health in Adolescents.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study examines the dose-response relationship between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and cardiometabolic measures in adolescents.

Methods

Cross-sectional spline analyses were performed using 2003-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data among adolescents (aged 12-19 years, N=9,195) on objectively measured (2003-2006) and self-reported (2007-2016) weekly mean minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and cardiometabolic measures (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, BMI, and cardiorespiratory fitness). Inflection points were determined for nonlinear relationships.

Results

For objective moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, female adolescents had significant nonlinear as
