“…Tracking was more variable (0.25 -0.85 in Canadians and 0.55 -0.76 in Madeira's youngsters) for waist circumference (Katzmarzyk et al 1999). Similar tracking coefficients have been reported for Belgians (Beunen et al 1992;Hulens et al 2001;Matton et al 2006), English (Power et al 1997), Swiss (Gasser et al 1995) and US-citizens (Casey et al 1992). In this last study the correlations for females approached zero when longer periods (childhood to 40 or 50 years) were considered.…”

Aims: Investigating tracking of fatness from childhood to adolescence, early adolescence to young adulthood and late adolescence to young adulthood. Subjects and methods: Participants from the Madeira Growth Study were followed during an average period of 7.2 years. Height, body mass, skin-folds and circumferences were measured, nine health-and performance-related tests were administered and the Baecke questionnaire was used to assess physical activity. Skeletal maturity was estimated using the TW3 method. Results: The prevalence of overweight plus obesity ranged from 8.2 -20.0% at baseline and from 20.4-40.0% at followup, in boys. Corresponding percentages for girls were 10.6-12.0% and 13.2-18.0%. Inter-age correlations for fatness indicators ranged from 0.43-0.77. BMI, waist circumference and sum of skin-folds at 8, 12 and 16-years old were the main predictors of these variables at 15, 19 and 23-years old, respectively. Strength, muscular endurance and aerobic fitness were negatively related to body fatness. Physical activity and maturation were independently associated with adolescent (15 years) and young adult (19 years) fatness. Conclusions: Over 7.2 years, tracking was moderate-to-high for fatness. Variance was explained by fatness indicators and to a small extent by physical fitness, physical activity and maturation.

“…As with the correlation analyses, stronger regression coefficients were found for males compared with females in three of the four studies. For example, in the three remaining studies with baseline ages between 15 and 19 years and 11 to 18 years follow-up β values ranged from 0.08 to 0.69 in males and from no association to 0.49 in females [18,[29][30][31][32].…”

“…The remaining studies reported activity in terms of sports participation. In the Leuven Longitudinal Study on Lifestyle, Fitness and Health [18] those 'less active' at 16 years were 2.0 (95% CI 0.9-4.3) times likely to be 'less active' 24 years later. The Northern Finland 1966 birth cohort (NFBC) [36,37] and Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns (CVRYF) [29][30][31][32] reported their analyses by gender.…”

“…Most had recruited their participants through schools, the exceptions being two birth cohorts (British and Northern Finnish), the Quebec Family Study, which recruited through the local media, the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns study, which recruited randomly through the national population register, and the Canada Fitness Study, which did not report their recruitment methods. All studies were carried out with both males and females, with approximately equal proportions of each, although the results of the Leuven Longitudinal Study are published for males [17] and females [18] separately. Ages at baseline ranged from 8 to 19 (all mean ages <18 years), with follow-up duration ranging in length from 5 to 55 years.…”

“…Outcomes were reported inconsistently, the majority referring to all leisure activity, but some only reporting sports participation [17,18]. Frequently, outcomes were reported as a product of frequency, intensity and duration (in terms of total time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity, daily energy expenditure or as a physical activity score), although some reported only frequency of activity [24,25] or intensity [26] at either or both time-points.…”

Key words: tracking; diet; physical activity; childhood obesity; adult obesity. ABSTRACTObesity in childhood carries a wide range of physical, psychological and social disbenefits and also increases the risk of adult obesity with its well-recognised, enhanced risk of several common complex diseases as well as adverse socioeconomic and psychosocial sequelae. Understanding the tracking of the two key modifiable behaviours, food consumption and physical activity, between childhood and adulthood may illuminate the childhood determinants of adult obesity and contribute to the development of effective interventions.We performed a systematic review of the available literature on tracking of both physical activity and of dietary intake between childhood and adulthood by searching MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PSYCInfo, Google and Google Scholar. For inclusion, studies had to report baseline measurements when the children were less than, or equal to, 18 years and to report follow-up for at least 5 years to any age over 18 years.After removal of duplicates, 9625 search hits were screened by title and/or abstract and 79 potentially relevant papers were identified and full papers obtained. In total 39 papers were included in this analysis. Of these, 11 papers (from 5 studies) reported data on tracking of diet from childhood to adulthood and 28 papers (from 16 studies) reported data on tracking of physical activity or inactivity.Despite the diversity of study design and measurement methodology, we found evidence of tracking of both physical activity and of diet between childhood and adulthood with estimates of strength of tracking of a similar order for both behaviours. Because of the inherent methodological difficulties...

ObjectiveThe aim of the present study was to analyze the tracking of indicators of health‐related physical fitness between childhood and adulthood.MethodsThe study presents a longitudinal design, with the first phase of data collection occurring annually between 2002 and 2006, and the second phase carried out in 2016. A total of 142 young adults, aged between 21 and 25 years, of both sexes participated in the study. Were evaluated body mass, stature, skinfold thickness, sit and reach test; abdominal resistance/strength test, and 20‐m shuttle run test.ResultsThe intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) indicated that all health‐related physical fitness variables presented values considered moderate to high tracking (0.37‐0.67; P < 0.005) between the analyzed periods. It was verified that in all variables, tracking was higher in the female group, except for the result of the running test related to the cardiorespiratory fitness component which demonstrated greater tracking in the male group (ICC = 0.37 vs ICC = 0.50). The result of the running test for males was the only variable presenting a discrepancy in the values observed between baseline and follow‐up (P < 0.05; k = 0.110).ConclusionsIt was concluded that the indicators of body fat, abdominal and running tests demonstrated moderate tracking, while the sit and reach test presented high tracking.
