Abstract

Background: The joint impact of sedentary behavior and physical activity on obesity has not been assessed in a large cohort followed from adolescence to adulthood. Methods: Nationally representative longitudinal data from Waves II (1995; mean age: 15.9) and III (2001; mean age: 21.4) of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (n = 9,155) were collected. Sex-stratified multivariate logistic regression analysis assessed the odds of obesity associated with Wave II MVPA and screen time, controlling for sociodemographic characteristics and change in MVPA and screen time from Wave II to III. Obesity was defined using body mass index (BMI, kg/m 2) International Obesity Task Force cut-points at Wave II and adult cut-points at Wave III (BMI ≥ 30). Results: In males, adjusted odds of prevalent obesity was strongly predicted by MVPA bouts [OR (95% CI): OR 6 vs. 1 MVPA bouts= 0.50 (0.40, 0.62); OR 4 vs. 40 hrs screen time= 0.83 (0.69, 1.00)]. In females, greater MVPA bouts and lower screen time correlated with lower prevalent obesity [OR (95% CI): OR 6 vs. 1 MVPA bouts= 0.67 (0.49, 0.91); OR 4 vs. 40 hrs screen time= 0.67 (0.53, 0.85)]. Longitudinally, adolescent screen time hours had a stronger influence on incident obesity in females [OR (95% CI): OR 4 vs. 40 hrs= 0.58 (0.43, 0.80)] than males [OR (95% CI): OR 4 vs. 40 hrs= 0.78 (0.61, 0.99)]. Longitudinal activity patterns were not predictive of incident obesity. Conclusion: Reducing screen time during adolescence and into adulthood may be a promising strategy for reducing obesity incidence, especially in females.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
