Lean Mass Longitudinally Confounds Sedentary Time and Physical Activity With Blood Pressure Progression in 2513 Children by Andrew O. Agbaje

“…This study examined the longitudinal effect of sedentary time (ST), light PA (LPA) and MVPA on BP in 11‐year‐old children followed up for 13 years to determine the confounding and mediating role of body composition. Methods Data included 2513 children from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), UK birth cohort who had data on at least one time‐point measure of accelerometer‐based movement behaviour across the follow‐up and complete BP measures at ages 11, 15 and 24 years. …”
