In 2513 children followed up from age 11 to 24 years, increased sedentary time from childhood through young adulthood significantly increased systolic blood pressure. However, a simulation replacing 10 minutes every hour of sedentary time in childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood with 10 minutes of light physical activity resulted in a cumulative reduction of systolic blood pressure by -3 mmHg.

The presence of any three of high blood pressure, high trunk fat mass, high fasting glucose, high fasting triglyceride and low fasting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol describes metabolic syndrome. Arterial stiffness in adolescents measured with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity may potentially cause metabolic syndrome in young adulthood via an increase in fasting insulin resistance and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
