Abstrakt:	Objectives: Cardiovascular disease prevention should begin in childhood. However, the influence of physical activity on cardiovascular health in early childhood is unknown. Our purpose in this study was to determine the effect of physical activity on trajectories of cardiovascular health indicators during early childhood. Methods: This prospective, observational cohort study (Health Outcomes and Physical Activity in Preschoolers) enrolled 418 3- to 5-year-olds with annual assessments for 3 years. Total physical activity (TPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were measured over 7 days via accelerometry. Cardiovascular health indicators included cardiovascular fitness (exercise time on a maximal treadmill test [treadmill time] and 1-minute heart rate recovery), resting arterial stiffness (whole-body pulse wave velocity and carotid β stiffness index), and seated systolic blood pressure. Data were analyzed by using linear mixed-effects modeling; effects are reported as unstandardized estimates (Est). Results: There were main effects of TPA and MVPA on treadmill time (Est = 0.004 [ P = .005] and 0.008 [ P = .001], respectively) and heart rate recovery (Est = 0.05 [ P < .001] and 0.08 [ P < .001], respectively). There was a main effect of TPA on pulse wave velocity (Est = -0.001; P = .02) and an MVPA × time interaction (Est = -0.002; P = .01). For carotid β stiffness index, the effect of a TPA × time interaction was not significant (Est = -0.002; P = .051); however, there was a significant MVPA × time interaction (Est = -0.003; P = .03). MVPA was associated with a slower rate of change in systolic blood pressure for girls (Est = 0.06; P = .009). Conclusions: Children who engage in higher levels of physical activity during early childhood have better cardiovascular health indicators, with more intense physical activity (ie, MVPA) attenuating the stiffening of arteries. Competing Interests: POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST: The authors have indicated they have no potential conflicts of interest to disclose. (Copyright © 2019 by the American Academy of Pediatrics.)
