Fig. 1: Illustration of the interaction between birth weight and MVPA on waist circumference (children) and HDL-cholesterol (adolescents).

From: Birth weight, cardiometabolic risk factors and effect modification of physical activity in children and adolescents: pooled data from 12 international studies

Fig. 1

Predicted values of cardiometabolic outcomes (a: waist circumference, b: HDL-cholesterol) across birth weight and the 25th, 50th and 75th percentile of MVPA in children (a) and adolescents (b) from regression models with significant interaction between birth weight and MVPA (p < 0.1). Adjusted for highest parental education, sex, age and waist circumference (when not the outcome). HDL high density lipoprotein, MVPA moderate to vigorous physical activity MVPA children: 25th percentile = 39.6 min/day, 50th percentile = 57.7 min/day, 75th percentile=80.0 min/day. MVPA adolescents: 25th percentile = 25.3 min/day, 50th percentile = 39.8 min/day, 75th percentile = 58.7 min/day.
