Title: Cardiorespiratory fitness and health‐related quality of life in adolescents: A longitudinal analysis from the LabMed Physical Activity Study

Abstract

Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to examine the longitudinal associations between cardiorespiratory fitness and health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) in a sample of adolescents, and to determine whether changes in cardiorespiratory fitness were associated with HRQoL over a 2‐year follow‐up. Methods This is a longitudinal analysis with 571 Portuguese adolescents (274 boys and 297 girls) aged 12‐18 years. HRQoL was measured with the Kidscreen‐10 questionnaire; the 20 m shuttle‐run was used to estimate cardiorespiratory fitness; socioeconomic status was assessed with the Family Affluence Scale; and pubertal stage was assessed with Tanner stages. Linear regression and analysis of covariance ( ancova s) were used to examine the associations between cardiorespiratory fitness and HRQoL. Results HRQoL decreased over a 2‐year period both in boys and girls ( P  < .05). Moreover, girls at baseline and at follow‐up reported significantly lower HRQoL values than boys (between subjects P  < .001). After adjustments for potential confounders, regression analyses showed significant cross‐sectional associations between cardiorespiratory fitness and HRQoL both at baseline ( B = 0.095; P = .023) and at follow‐up (B = 0.090; P = .012). ancova showed that adolescents whose cardiorespiratory fitness decreased over time exhibited lower scores of HRQoL at follow‐up, compared tomore » those with persistent high cardiorespiratory fitness; this held after adjustments for age, sex, socioeconomic status, and pubertal stage. Conclusions Changes in cardiorespiratory fitness during adolescence were associated with HRQoL over a 2‐year period. This study suggests that improving cardiorespiratory fitness could be an important strategy in improving the HRQoL of adolescents.« less
