Follow-up of participants in the Trois-Rivieres Growth and Development Study: examining their health-related fitness and risk factors as adults

Article Abstract:

Daily physical education in primary school does not appear to provide any physical fitness or health-related advantage in adulthood, according to results of a follow-up study of participants in the Trois-Rivieres Growth and Development Study. Study participants scored significantly better than controls only on the Flamingo balance test.

Changes in adiposity and body mass index from late childhood to adult life in the Trois-Rivieres study

Article Abstract:

This article explores the tracking of body mass index (BMI) in subjects from the Trois-Rivieres Growth and Development Study in Quebec, by testing autocorrelations between data acquired from 10,11, and 12 year olds with corresponding values at 34 years old. Results show that body composition of subjects developed similarly whether or not their elementary school provided physical education; results also suggest that prediction of obesity based on childhood BMI measurements are more effective among girls than boys.

BMI in the Trois-Rivieres study: child-adult and child-parent relationships

Article Abstract:

Body mass index (BMI) at age 12 has been shown to be a more accurate predictor of adult BMI than the parental BMI for women and men. This same data, however, does not support the hypothesis that parental BMI is a more reliable predictor for adult BMI than childhood BMI.
