Associations of childhood physical activity and screen time with cardiometabolic health in preteens who were born to mothers with previous macrosomic delivery: Findings from the ROLO longitudinal birth cohort study

Pediatr ObesPublished Secondary analysis of the ROLO longitudinal birth cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Higher preteen PA may have potential benefits for cardiometabolic health, irrespective of birthweight.

Study context

Population
Preteens (9–11-year-olds) born to mothers who previously delivered an infant with macrosomia (birthweight ≥4 kg), ROLO study
Participants
402 participants
Comparison
Childhood physical activity (PA) and screen time (ST) in relation to preteen cardiometabolic outcomes
Primary endpoint
Preteen cardiometabolic outcomes:
  • Anthropometry
  • DXA
  • Blood pressure
  • Heart rate
  • Cardiorespiratory endurance
  • Blood biomarkers
Follow-up
9-11 years
Methodological detailscrude and adjusted linear regression
  • Crude and adjusted linear regression

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Associations of PA and ST with preteen cardiometabolic outcomes

Higher preteen PA and sum of skinfolds

adjusted B −3.00

95% CI −5.98, −0.02p = 0.048

Higher preteen PA and cardiorespiratory endurance

adjusted B 0.50

95% CI 0.20, 0.80p = 0.001
