BACKGROUND: Cross-sectional studies have shown that @entity1 with @entity1957 ( @entity1957 ) are less likely to be physically active and have excess @entity1017 . However, longitudinal studies examining the relationship between @entity1957 and measures of body composition (BMI and waist circumference) over time are lacking. It is not known if sex and physical activity affect the relationship between @entity1957 and measures of body composition over time. OBJECTIVE: (1) To examine if BMI and waist circumference in @entity1 with and without probable @entity1957 (pDCD) remain constant over time or change as @entity1 age, and whether this relationship varies by sex. (2) To examine if differences in physical activity between @entity1 with and without pDCD account for differences in BMI and waist circumference over time. METHODS: Physical Health Activity Study Team (PHAST) data were used for this longitudinal analysis. At baseline, a total of 2,278 (pDCD=103) @entity1 aged 9-10years were included in the analysis. The total follow-up period was five years. Mixed-effects modeling was used to estimate change in body composition measures in @entity1 over time. RESULTS: @entity1 with pDCD have higher BMI and waist circumference compared to typically developing @entity1 , and this difference increased over the study period. The relationship between pDCD and BMI over time also varied by sex. A similar trend was observed for waist circumference. @entity1 with pDCD were found to have a more rapid increase in BMI and waist circumference compared to @entity1 with pDCD. Physical activity had neither a mediating nor a moderating effect on the relationship between pDCD and measures of body composition. However, physical activity was independently and negatively associated with measures of body composition. CONCLUSIONS: pDCD is associated with higher body mass and waist circumference, both important risk factors for @entity65 , @entity164 2 @entity6 , and @entity458 and other health conditions.
