Popis: | Aim To examine the relationship between reported vigorous physical activity (VPA) and body mass index (BMI) in children (6-7 years) and adolescents (13-14 years). Methods In the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood Phase Three, 75,895 children's parents and 199,502 adolescents answered questions relating to VPA, height and weight. The association between VPA and BMI was analysed using general linear models, adjusting for country gross national index. Results Compared to children who undertook no VPA, those in the infrequent group (once or twice per week) and those in the frequent group (three or more times per week) had mean (95%CI) BMI values 0.07 kg/m2 (0.03 to 0.11) and 0.09 kg/m2 (0.03 to 0.15) greater respectively (P=0.001). Compared to adolescents reporting no VPA, those in the infrequent group had a BMI 0.19 kg/m2 (0.15 to 0.23) greater while those in the frequent group had a BMI 0.01 kg/m2 (-0.03 to 0.05) greater (P |
