ntroduction
: Previous longitudinal research suggests that motor proficiency in early life predicts physical activity in adulthood.
Familial effects including genetic and environmental factors could explain the association, but no long-term follow-up studies
have taken into account potential confounding by genetic and social family background. The present twin study investigated whether
childhood motor skill development is associated with leisure-time physical activity levels in adulthood independent of family background.
Methods
: Altogether, 1550 twin pairs from the FinnTwin12 study and 1752 twin pairs from the FinnTwin16 study were included in the
analysis. Childhood motor development was assessed by the parents
_
report of whether one of the co-twins had been ahead of the other in
different indicators of motor skill development in childhood. Leisure-time physical activity (MET

) was self-reported by the twins
in young adulthood and adulthood. Statistical analyses included conditional and ordinary linear regression models within twin
pairs.
Results
: Using all activity-discordant twin pairs, the within-pair difference in a sum score of motor development in childhood
predicted the within-pair difference in the leisure-time physical activity level in young adulthood (
P
G
0.001). Within specific motor
development indicators, learning to stand unaided earlier in infancy predicted higher leisure-time MET values in young adulthood
statistically significantly in both samples (FinnTwin12,
P
= 0.02; and FinnTwin16,
P
= 0.001) and also in the pooled data set of the
FinnTwin12 and FinnTwin16 studies (
P
G
0.001). Having been more agile than the co-twin as a child predicted higher leisure-time MET
values up to adulthood (
P
=0.03).
Conclusions
: More advanced childhood motor development is associated with higher leisure-time MET
values in young adulthood at least partly independent of family background in both men and women.

Physical activity in adolescence as a predictor of alcohol and illicit drug use in early adulthood: A longitudinal population-based twin study.
Korhonen, Tellervo; Kujala, Urho; Rose, Richard; Kaprio, Jaakko (2009)We investigated prospectively whether physical activity level in adolescence predicts use of alcohol and illicit drugs in early adulthood. We studied 4,240 individual twins (1,870 twin pairs). We classified those who ... -
Physical activity in adolescence and smoking in young adulthood: a prospective twin cohort study.
Kujala, Urho; Kaprio, Jaakko; Rose, Richard J (2007)Aims To control for familial confounds, we studied the association between adolescent physical activity and later smoking in twin siblings discordant for their baseline physical activity. Design and measurements In ... -
