Background: Long-term accelerometer-based studies examining whether engaging in physical activity (PA) reduces the risk of smoking in children are lacking, and whether directly measured adiposity increases smoking risk is uncertain.
Methods: From the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), UK birth cohort, 2503 children aged 11 years with complete smoking and at least one valid time-point movement behaviour data were followed up until age 24 years. ActiGraph assessed sedentary time (ST), light PA (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) at ages 11, 15, and 24-year clinic visits and smoking-based questionnaires were administered, whilst fat mass was measured with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scanner.
