Abstract
Objective
To investigate whether level of prematurity (very, moderate, late preterm, vs full term) is associated with physical activity from childhood to adolescence and to identify factors in childhood that predict moderate-vigorous physical activity in early adolescence.
Study design
Parents reported on physical activity at the age 5, 7, and 11 years (n = 12 222-14 639) and adolescents self-reported on moderate-vigorous physical activity at 14 years (n = 10 974). At age 14 years, a subgroup was also assessed by wrist accelerometer (n = 4046).
Results
Prematurity was associated with a small or no difference in physical activity at each time point. At age 14 years, moderate-vigorous physical activity in self-report and accelerometer was higher in male adolescents, those of white ethnicity, or higher parental education, having been taken to live sport events at age 5 or 7 years or having taken part in organized physical activity at 5 or 7 years.
Conclusions
In this representative national cohort study in the United Kingdom, preterm birth was not found to be associated with physical activity between 5 and 14 years. Organized physical activity and watching sport events early in life may increase moderate to vigorous physical activity in adolescents.
