Findings Physical characteristics . objectively measured BMI sum of skin folds MOPER test battery performance and personality . self-reported inadequacy social inadequacy rigidity self-sufficiency recalcitrance dominance achievement motivation facilitating anxiety debilitating anxiety and social desirability were assessed in 217 adolescent boys Mean SD and girls Mean SD . Twenty-nine years later at the age of 42 their physical activity and sedentary behaviour were assessed by means of accelerometry. Boys who scored lower on self-sufficiency recalcitrance and higher on facilitating anxiety spent more time sedentary in adulthood. Girls with a superior standing high jump performance and a lower score on social desirability spent more time sedentary in adulthood. In contrast with sedentary behaviour physical activity at age 42 year could not be predicted by physical characteristics or personality in adolescence. Conclusions Sedentary behaviour in adulthood was partly explained by physical characteristics and or personality in adolescence. Thus our results suggest that it may be possible to identify people who are at risk of becoming sedentary at a rather young age.
