Early sport practice prevents development of diseases in children/adolescents, but still unclear its effect over health in adulthood. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the association between sport practice in early life and chronic diseases in adulthood.
A retrospective population-based survey carried out in eight Brazilian cities with adults of both genders. Throughout a multistage random process 2720 adults (1096 male and 1624 female) were selected and interviewed. Type 2 diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension were assessed in a face-to-face interview through a self-report, which was necessarily based on previous medical diagnosis. Early sport practice was assessed in childhood (7-10 years old) and adolescence (11-17 years old). Current physical activity and body mass index were assessed in adulthood throughout a face-to-face interview.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension were identified in 8.1% (95% CI, 7.1-9.2) and 23.5% (95% CI, 21.9-25.1) of the sample, respectively. Early sport practice during childhood and adolescence was associated with lower occurrence of arterial hypertension (OR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.33-0.73) and type 2 diabetes (OR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.24-0.88) in adulthood.
Independently of obesity and current physical activity, early sport practice in early life was positively associated with lower occurrence of chronic diseases in adulthood.
早期体育锻炼可预防儿童/青少年疾病的发生，但对其成年后健康状况的影响仍不明确。因此，本研究旨在分析早年体育锻炼与成年期慢性病之间的关联。
在巴西的八个城市对成年男女进行了一项基于人群的回顾性调查。通过多阶段随机过程，选取了2720名成年人（1096名男性和1624名女性）并进行访谈。通过面对面访谈，采用自我报告的方式评估2型糖尿病和动脉高血压，该报告必须基于先前的医学诊断。在童年（7 - 10岁）和青少年时期（11 - 17岁）评估早期体育锻炼情况。通过面对面访谈评估成年期的当前身体活动和体重指数。
样本中分别有8.1%（95%置信区间，7.1 - 9.2）和23.5%（95%置信区间，21.9 - 25.1）的人患有2型糖尿病和动脉高血压。童年和青少年时期的早期体育锻炼与成年期动脉高血压（比值比，0.49；95%置信区间，0.33 - 0.73）和2型糖尿病（比值比，0.46；95%置信区间，0.24 - 0.88）的较低发生率相关。
独立于肥胖和当前身体活动情况，早年的早期体育锻炼与成年期慢性病较低的发生率呈正相关。
