Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between aerobic fitness (AF), fatness, and coronary-heart-disease (CHD) risk factors in 12- to 13-year-olds. The data were obtained from 208 schoolchildren (100 boys; 108 girls) ages 12.9 +/- 0.3 years. Measurements included AF, indices of obesity, blood pressure, blood lipids and lipoproteins, fibrinogen, homocysteine, and C-reactive protein. An inverse relationship was found between AF and fatness (p <or= .05). Fatness was related to a greater number of CHD risk factors than fitness was (p <or= .05). Further analysis revealed fatness to be an independent predictor of triglyceride and blood-pressure levels (p <or= .05). Our findings indicate that, for young people, fatness rather than fitness is independently related to CHD risk factors.
