Abstract

The present study investigated the relationship between birth size and activity patterns. One hundred and twenty-four adults wore accelerometers for 7 days. Birth weight was adjusted for gestational age (AdjBW). The overall association between time spent in MVPA/day and AdjBW was not significant (B = 5.64, p =.09). MVPA/day increased by 7.02 min (p =.02) in participants 18–21 years (N = 42) and decreased by 10.8 min (p =.02) in participants 22–40 years (N = 33) per unit increase in AdjBW. The effect of birth size on adult physical activity depends on age.
