Abstract
One important determinate of childhood physical activity and sedentary behaviour may be that of motor development in infancy. The present analyses aimed to investigate whether gross and fine motor delays in infants were associated with objective and self-reported activity in childhood. Data were from the UK Millennium Cohort Study, a prospective cohort study, involving UK children born on or around the millennium (September 2000 and January 2002). When children were 9 months old, parents reported children?s fine and gross motor-coordination, and at 7 years, sports club attendance and daily TV viewing time. Children?s physical activity was measured using accelerometers at 7 years. Adjusted regression models were used to examine associations between delayed motor development and objectively measured activity, sport club attendance and TV viewing time. In this sample (n=13021), gross motor delay in infancy was associated with less time in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (B -5.0 95% CI -6.8, -3.2) and more time sedentary (B 13.5 95% CI 9.3, 17.8) in childhood.Gross and fine motor delays during infancy were associated with a reduced risk of having high attendance at sports clubs in childhood (both RR 0.7, 95% CI 0.6, 0.9). Fine motor delays, but not gross delays, were also associated with an increased risk of having high TV viewing time (RR 1.3 95% CI 1.0, 1.6). Delays in motor development in infancy are associated with physical activity and sedentary time in childhood.
