Abstract

BACKGROUNDLongitudinal association of television (TV) viewing and moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) with pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) is unclear. METHODSWe studied Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study participants transitioning from early to middle age at Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) exam years 15 (2000-2001; N = 1975, mean age = 40.4, 55.4% women, 45.3% Black) and 25 (2010-2011). TV viewing (in hours per day) and MVPA (in exercise units) were measured using a self-report questionnaire. PAT volume (in milliliters) was measured using computed tomography. Multivariable linear regression was used to examine the associations of tertiles of 10-year change (years 25-15) in TV viewing and MVPA with a concurrent change in PAT with adjustments for covariates. RESULTSParticipants in the highest tertile of 10-year increase in TV viewing had a greater increase in PAT (β = 2.96 mL, P < .01). Participants in both middle (β = -3.93 mL, P < .01) and highest (β = -6.22 mL, P < .01) tertiles of 10-year changes in MVPA had smaller mean increases in PAT over 10 years when compared with the lowest tertile in fully adjusted models. CONCLUSIONSReducing or maintaining early-midlife levels of TV viewing and increasing MVPA may be associated with less PAT accumulation with age.
