Size at birth and accelerometer‐measured physical activity or sedentary behavior in healthy term‐born adults

The present study investigated the relationship between birth size and activity patterns. One hundred and twenty‐four adults wore accelerometers for 7 days. Birth weight was adjusted for gestational age (AdjBW). The overall association between time spent in MVPA/day and AdjBW was not significant (B ...

Descripción
Sumario:The present study investigated the relationship between birth size and activity patterns. One hundred and twenty‐four adults wore accelerometers for 7 days. Birth weight was adjusted for gestational age (AdjBW). The overall association between time spent in MVPA/day and AdjBW was not significant (B = 5.64, p = .09). MVPA/day increased by 7.02 min (p = .02) in participants 18–21 years (N = 42) and decreased by 10.8 min (p = .02) in participants 22–40 years (N = 33) per unit increase in AdjBW. The effect of birth size on adult physical activity depends on age.
