Early outdoor play predicts less sedentary adulthood for people with congenital heart disease

Researchers at University of Tsukuba report that patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) who were more physically active during childhood spend less time engaging in sedentary behavior and participate in higher levels of physical activity in adulthood. These findings, published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology, may help inform the development of individualized lifestyle interventions for patients with CHD.
