dc.description.abstract | Purpose: This study examined
the associations between childhood physical activity level and adulthood earnings. Methods: The data were drawn from the ongoing
longitudinal Young Finns Study, which was combined with register-based Finnish Longitudinal Employer–Employee Data and registerbased parents_ background information from the Longitudinal Population Census of Statistics Finland. The study consisted of children
who were 9 yr (n = 1257, 52% boys), 12 yr (n = 1662, 51% boys), and 15 yr (n = 1969, 49% boys) of age at the time when physical
activity was measured. The children were followed until 2010, when they were between 33 and 45 yr old. Leisure-time physical activity
in childhood was self-reported, whereas earnings in adulthood were register based and covered over a 10-yr period from 2000 to 2010.
Ordinary least squares models were used to analyze the relationship between physical activity and earnings. Results: Childhood physical
activity level was positively associated with long-term earnings among men (P G 0.001). In more detail, a higher level of leisure-time
physical activity at the age of 9, 12, and 15 yr was associated with an approximate 12%–25% increase in average annual earnings over a
10-yr period. The results were robust to controlling, e.g., an individual_s chronic conditions and body fat, parents_ education and physical
activity, and family income. Among women, no relation was observed. Conclusions: The findings provide evidence that childhood
physical activity can have far-reaching positive effects on adulthood earnings. Possibilities for improving physical activity during
childhood may not only promote health but also affect long-term labor market outcomes. | fi |
