Zusammenfassung:This secondary data analysis examined: (a) longitudinal trajectories of physical activity, sedentary behaviors, and obesity, (b) predictors of health behaviors (physical activity and sedentary behaviors) across age, (c) longitudinal relationships between obesity and health behaviors, and (d) interactions between physical activity and sedentary behaviors on obesity. The sample consisted of 3,805 subjects aged 8 to 19 years, who enrolled in the Cardiovascular Health in Children and Youth (CHIC) study from rural North Carolina. Each subject was observed a maximum 4 time points. SAS Proc Mixed (9.1.3) was used for analyses. Physical activity decreased and obesity increased as subjects grew older. Hours of TV viewing and video games also decreased with age. A faster decrease in physical activity with age was associated with early and mid-puberty, girls, black youth, children from the highest family income group and children with obese parents.
