To evaluate stability of physical fitness and physical activity from adolescence into middle adulthood in Flemish females.
Within the scope of the Leuven Longitudinal Study on Lifestyle, Fitness and Health, 138 females (mean age=16.6+/-1.1 yr) from the Leuven Growth Study of Flemish Girls were seen in adulthood (mean age=40.5+/-1.1 yr). Several body dimensions and motor fitness tests were taken. Physical activity was assessed by means of a sports participation inventory. Inter-age correlations were calculated between adolescent and adult values. Cross-tabulation was used to identify the percentage of subjects remaining in the same BMI and physical activity group or shifting from one group to another from adolescence to adulthood. Odds ratios for less activity and overweight in adulthood according to adolescent activity or weight status were calculated.
Except for flamingo balance, plate tapping, leg lifts, and arm pull, all anthropometric and physical fitness characteristics were stable from adolescence to adulthood (r ranging from 0.49 to 0.96). Sports participation was not a stable characteristic (r=0.13). From adolescence to adulthood, 84.5 and 63.6%, respectively, remained in the normal-weight and overweight group, whereas 62.5 and 54.4%, respectively, remained in the less active and active group. The odds of being overweight in adulthood was 9.53 (95% CI: 3.1-29.8) times greater in overweight compared with normal-weight adolescent girls.
In Flemish females, anthropometric and fitness characteristics demonstrate higher levels of stability from adolescence to middle adulthood than physical activity. Weight status during adolescence is indicative of adult weight status, and a pattern of less activity rather than activity tends to continue from youth to adulthood.
评估弗拉芒女性从青春期到中年期身体素质和身体活动的稳定性。
在鲁汶生活方式、健康与健身纵向研究的范围内，对弗拉芒女孩鲁汶生长研究中的138名女性（平均年龄=16.6±1.1岁）进行了成年期观察（平均年龄=40.5±1.1岁）。进行了多项身体维度和运动能力测试。通过体育参与量表评估身体活动情况。计算了青少年和成年期数值之间的年龄相关性。使用交叉表来确定从青春期到成年期保持在相同体重指数和身体活动组或从一组转变到另一组的受试者百分比。根据青少年的活动或体重状况计算成年期活动较少和超重的比值比。
除了火烈鸟平衡、拍板、抬腿和引体向上外，所有人体测量和身体素质特征从青春期到成年期都是稳定的（r值范围为0.49至0.96）。体育参与不是一个稳定的特征（r=0.13）。从青春期到成年期，分别有84.5%和63.6%的人仍处于正常体重和超重组，而分别有62.5%和54.4%的人仍处于活动较少和活动较多组。与正常体重的青少年女孩相比，超重的青少年女孩成年期超重的几率高出9.53倍（95%置信区间：3.1-29.8）。
在弗拉芒女性中，人体测量和身体素质特征从青春期到中年期的稳定性高于身体活动。青春期的体重状况预示着成年期的体重状况，从青少年到成年期，活动较少而非活动较多的模式往往会持续。
