Key Points

  • Insufficient physical activity levels correlate with lower wealth index, indicating socioeconomic influence on health behaviors.
  • Maternal education levels did not show a significant association with physical activity outcomes among participants in the study.
  • Analysis of the Young Lives Cohort Study in Peru underscores the importance of socioeconomic factors on activity levels.
  • Promoting physical activity should consider socioeconomic context to be effective in improving health outcomes.

Abstract

Wealth index was associated with insufficient physical activity and physical inactivity, but maternal education was not. Our results suggest the need to promote physical activity levels according to social context.
