Summary

Preterm-born children show similar physical activity levels and sedentary behavior compared to their term-born peers. These activity levels did not correlate with lung function measures in childhood.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Health
  • Perinatal Medicine
  • Exercise Physiology

Background:

  • Preterm birth can impact long-term health, including respiratory and physical development.
  • Understanding physical activity in preterm survivors is crucial for their overall well-being and development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare objectively measured physical activity in preterm-born versus term-born children at ages 11 and 15.
  • To investigate the relationship between physical activity and lung function in this cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children.
  • Compared total physical activity, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and sedentary behavior across different gestational age groups.
  • Correlated physical activity at age 11 with lung spirometry data from ages 7-9.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences were found in physical activity or sedentary behavior between preterm and term-born children.
  • Boys exhibited higher physical activity levels than girls at both ages.
  • Physical activity at age 11 did not correlate with lung spirometry measures at age 7-9.

Conclusions:

  • Gestational age at birth does not appear to influence objectively measured physical activity levels in children.
  • Despite potential lung function deficits, preterm-born children maintain comparable physical activity to term-born peers.
  • Physical activity is not limited in preterm survivors, suggesting resilience in this aspect of development.
