“…PA was rated by an in-person interview on the basis of average minutes of moderate- or vigorous sports per day and by the Baecke questionnaire expressed as Baecke score (BS).ResultsComplete data set was available for 1,001 adolescents with a mean age of 17.8 years (standard deviation ±0.9 years). 558 (55.7%) of participants were female. cIMT was positively associated with both measures of PA in univariate (minutes sports per day: p < 0.001; BS: p < 0.001) as well as multivariable analysis adjusting for established cardiovascular risk factors (minutes sports per day: p = 0.001; BS: p = 0.002). Using cfPWV in a multivariate model an inverse correlation with the BS (p = 0.023) was observed, but not for minutes sports per day (p = 0.554).ConclusionIn our large community-based cohort of adolescents, PA was associated with an increased cIMT but shows a trend towards lower aortic stiffness measured by cfPWV. …”
