Background Cardiovascular, respiratory, and musculoskeletal disease are among the leading causes of disability in middle-aged older people. Health lifestyle factors youth have known associations with cardiovascular or respiratory adulthood, but largely unknown disease. Methods findings We included approximately 40,000 18-year-old Swedish males, who completed their conscription examination 1969 to 1970, followed up until age 60 years. Exposures interest were physical health: body mass height, blood pressure, pulse at rest, muscle strength, cardiorespiratory fitness, hematocrit; self-reported lifestyle: smoking, alcohol, drug use; overall, headache gastrointestinal. participants through National Patient Register for incidence common (osteoarthritis, back pain, shoulder lesions, joint myalgia), (ischemic heart disease, atrial fibrillation), diseases (asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary bronchitis). analyzed using general estimating equations Poisson regression all exposures one model adjusted parental education occupation. found that higher was associated risk (risk ratio [RR] per 1 standard deviation [SD] 1.12 [95% confidence interval, CI 1.09, 1.16]), (RR 1.22 1.17, 1.27] SD) 1.14 1.05, 1.23] SD). Notably, strength fitness (RRs 1.08 1.11] 1.06 1.01, 1.12] SD difference exposure), while protective against both 0.91 0.85, 0.98] 0.85 0.73, 0.97] exposure, respectively). confirmed adverse effects ratios when comparing 11+ cigarettes day non-smoking (95% 1.06, 1.22) musculoskeletal, 1.58 1.44, 1.74) cardiovascular, 1.93 1.60, 2.32) diseases.

ABSTRACT Background Randomized controlled trials have reported no effect of moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity (MVPA) on reducing blood pressure (BP) in youth, probably due to short trial durations. This study examined the longitudinal sedentary time (ST), light PA (LPA) and MVPA BP 11‐year‐old children followed up for 13 years determine confounding mediating role body composition. Methods Data included 2513 from Avon Longitudinal Study Parents Children (ALSPAC), UK birth cohort who had data at least one time‐point measure accelerometer‐based movement behaviour across follow‐up complete measures ages 11, 15 24 years. Body composition was assessed with dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry all points. Multivariate adjusted generalized linear mixed‐effect model structural equation causal mediation analyses were conducted. Results Among participants (61% female, mean [SD] age 11.72 [0.21] years), ST steadily increased ~6 h/day childhood (age 11 years) ~9 young adulthood whereas LPA decreased, but an inverted U‐shaped increase. In analysis, after full adjustment, a 1‐min cumulative positively associated systolic (0.009 mmHg [95% CI 0.007–0.011]; p < 0.001) diastolic BP. A inversely (−0.007 [−0.009 −0.004]; 0.001), not isotemporal substitution analyses, replacement 10 min equal during childhood, adolescence cumulatively decreased by −2.63 −3.17 −2.08] ( 0.0001) −1.93 −2.36 −1.50] 0.0001). Replacing statistically significant absolute lean mass. The association fully mediated mass (93% mediation). Increased total fat partially (19%–27%) inverse associations Conclusions Theoretically replacing min/day spent growth through may lower −3 −2 mmHg. Lean seems more than relations should be accounted future intervention studies paediatric adult population.
