“…Regular exercise can bring health benefits for reducing high blood pressure in adults and preschool children, [26][27][28][29] considering hypertension is strongly related to cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. Our study generated new evidence that normal maternal blood pressure is positively associated with higher PA level of infants aged 12 months.…”

Summary Background Physical activity (PA) levels are associated with long‐term health, and levels of PA when young are predictive of adult activity levels. Objectives This study examines factors associated with PA levels in 12‐month infants. Method One hundred forty‐one mother‐infant pairs were recruited via a longitudinal birth cohort study (April 2010 to March 2013). The PA level was collected using accelerometers and linked to postnatal notes and electronic medical records via the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage databank. Univariable and multivariable linear regressions were used to examine the factors associated with PA levels. Results Using univariable analysis, higher PA was associated with the following ( P value less than 0.05): being male, larger infant size, healthy maternal blood pressure levels, full‐term gestation period, higher consumption of vegetables (infant), lower consumption of juice (infant), low consumption of adult crisps (infant), longer breastfeeding duration, and more movement during sleep (infant) but fewer night wakings. Combined into a multivariable regression model ( R 2 = 0.654), all factors remained significant, showing lower PA levels were associated with female gender, smaller infant, preterm birth, higher maternal blood pressure, low vegetable consumption, high crisp consumption, and less night movement. Conclusion The PA levels of infants were strongly associated with both gestational and postnatal environmental factors. Healthy behaviours appear to cluster, and a healthy diet was associated with a more active infant. Boys were substantially more active than girls, even at age 12 months. These findings can help inform interventions to promote healthier lives for infants and to understand the determinants of their PA levels.

“…PFL and BMI are not the only parameters for preventing the health status since Systolic Blood Pressure also contributes to someone's health status. An increasing blood pressure shows the pathology of cardiovascular status [20]. The characteristic of blood pressure in children and young age may influence the blood pressure in adult age [20].…”

Lately, the dynamic fast pace of modern world has led people to live a sedentary lifestyle, which is defined as lifestyle with lack of physical activity. Such kind of lifestyle would have an effect on Body Mass Index (BMI), Physical Fitness Level (PFL) and Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP). The fact that our future sustainability depends much on survival of the late adolescent makes it important for us, to prevent them from any diseases in the future. However, there are only few studies about detection of BMI, PFL and SBP of late adolescent. This study aim is to explore the correlation between BMI, PFL and SBP through a descriptive, correlation study with cross-sectional approach. It involved 32 female and male late adolescents as the research participants with age range between 10-24 years old selected through a total sampling. The exclusion criteria were the late adolescent with cardiovascular and respiration disorder. Univariate and bivariate analyses were used to analyze the data. Based on data, it revealed that there is no correlation between BMI, PFL and SBP with p value of 0,20 and p value of 0,75 (p >0,05).
