Key Points Question Is a childhood temperament characterized by shyness and avoidance of social interactions associated with cardiometabolic health? Findings In this cohort of 9491 children from the United Kingdom, children with an avoidant-shy temperament engaged in less physical activity in adolescence and attained lower social standing compared with children with other temperaments. These factors were associated with poor cardiometabolic health in adulthood. Meaning These findings suggest that early temperamental differences among children are associated with long-term health behaviors and psychosocial development, which carry significant implications for cardiometabolic risks.
