摘要

Background: There is growing concern around youth mental health. A population health approach to improve mental health must address, among other issues, economic insecurity, access to housing and education, harm reduction from substance use. As a universal public health intervention, increasing physical activity at a population level may have an important role in our approach. The aim of this study was to examine the longitudinal association between physical activity patterns between childhood and early adolescence and emotional-behavioural difficulties in later adolescence. Methods: This study was based on data from the '98 Child cohort of the Growing Up in Ireland Study. Participants were categorized according to physical activity levels at ages 9 and 13. Emotional-behavioural difficulties at age 17 were measured using the parent-reported Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Logistic regression was used to examine the association between physical activity and emotional-behavioural outcomes. Results: Among 4618 participants included in the regression model, those categorized as Inactive (n=1607) or Reducer (n=1662) were more than twice as likely to have emotional-behavioural difficulties at age 17 compared with those who were Active [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 2.1, 95% CI 1.46-3.01, P<0.001; AOR 1.93, 95% CI 1.34-2.76, P<0.001, respectively]. Among those with emotional-behavioural difficulties at baseline (n=525), those categorized as Active had 2.3-fold reduced odds for emotional-behavioural problems at age 17 compared with those who were Inactive (AOR 0.43, 95% CI 0.230.78, P=0.006). Conclusions: Increasing physical activity among adolescents is a safe and sustainable public health intervention associated with improved mental health.
