Brief Summary

The study resembles a four-year follow-up on the influence of physical activity and fitness, blood pressure, BMI and stress on vascular health in primary schoolchildren. It examines the predictive value of retinal vessel diameters for the development of childhood hypertension.

Conditions

Cardiovascular Diseases; Childhood Obesity; Hypertension

Keywords

retinal vessels; physical activity; children; psychosocial health

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Retinal vessel diameter

  Through study completion, an average of 1 year

• Body mass index (BMI)

  Through study completion, an average of 1 year

• Psychosocial stress exposure as assessed by the conflict subscale of the Family Environment Scale

  Through study completion, an average of 1 year

• Health behavior as assessed by the HBSC Symptom Checklist

  Through study completion, an average of 1 year

• Health-related quality of life as assessed by the KINDL-R questionnaire

• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

This study will be designed as a four-year follow-up of the 2014 Sportcheck. All first-graders of primary schools in the canton Basel-Stadt took part in measurements of height, body weight and physical fitness during physical education lesson. From the 1255 children, 540 (43%) were allowed by their parents to join additional measurements of blood pressure and retinal vessel diameters and filled in questionnaires. In the year 2018, all fifth-graders of Basel-Stadt will be invited to take part in the same measurements as in 2014. All children will again conduct physical fitness tests and measurements of height and body weight during physical education. All children with an informed consent will participate in the same medical tests that were performed four years previously.

You may qualify if:

• All fifth-graders of public primary schools in Basel-Stadt with an informed consent signed by their parents are included.

You may not qualify if:

• Fifth-graders with motor-or other disabilities that do not allow participation will be excluded.
