Objectives To describe new WHO 2020 guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Methods The were developed in accordance with protocols. An expert Guideline Development Group reviewed evidence to assess associations between behaviour for an agreed set of health outcomes population groups. assessment used systematically updated recent relevant systematic reviews; primary reviews addressed additional or subpopulations. Results address children, adolescents, adults, older adults...
Obesity, defined by a body-mass index (BMI) (the weight in kilograms divided the square of height meters) 30.0 or more, is associated with an increased risk death, but relation between overweight (a BMI 25.0 to 29.9) and death has been questioned.We prospectively examined from any cause 527,265 U.S. men women National Institutes Health-AARP cohort who were 50 71 years old at enrollment 1995-1996. was calculated self-reported height. Relative risks 95 percent confidence intervals adjusted for...
The aim of this paper is to review the evidence association between energy balance and obesity. In December 2015, International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), Lyon, France convened a Working Group international experts regarding obesity, with focus Low Middle Income Countries (LMIC). global epidemic obesity double burden, in LMICs, malnutrition (coexistence undernutrition overnutrition) are both related poor quality diet unbalanced intake. Dietary patterns consistent traditional...
High intakes of red or processed meat may increase the risk mortality. Our objective was to determine relations red, white, and for total cause-specific mortality.The study population included National Institutes Health-AARP (formerly known as American Association Retired Persons) Diet Health Study cohort half a million people aged 50 71 years at baseline. Meat intake estimated from food frequency questionnaire administered Cox proportional hazards regression models hazard ratios (HRs) 95%...
Background: In small, short-term studies, acute administration of caffeine decreases insulin sensitivity and impairs glucose tolerance. Objective: To examine the long-term relationship between consumption coffee other caffeinated beverages incidence type 2 diabetes mellitus. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: The Nurses' Health Study Professionals' Follow-up Study. Participants: authors followed 41 934 men from 1986 to 1998 84 276 women 1980 1998. These participants did not have...
Inconsistent findings from observational studies have continued the controversy over effects of dietary fiber on colorectal cancer.To evaluate association between intake and risk cancer.From 13 prospective cohort included in Pooling Project Prospective Studies Diet Cancer, 725,628 men women were followed up for 6 to 20 years across studies. Study- sex-specific relative risks (RRs) estimated with Cox proportional hazards model subsequently pooled using a random-effects model.Incident...
<h3>Background</h3> Whether national physical activity recommendations are related to mortality benefit is incompletely understood. <h3>Methods</h3> We prospectively examined guidelines in relation among 252 925 women and men aged 50 71 years the National Institutes of Health–American Association Retired Persons (NIH-AARP) Diet Health Study. Physical was assessed using 2 self-administered baseline questionnaires. <h3>Results</h3> During 1 265 347 person-years follow-up, 7900 participants...
Rates of esophageal adenocarcinoma and gastric cardia have increased, while rates squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) noncardia decreased, suggesting distinct etiologies. The authors prospectively investigated the associations alcohol tobacco with these cancers in 474,606 US participants using Cox models adjusted for potential confounders. Between 1995/1996 2000, 97 incident cases ESCC, 205 adenocarcinoma, 188 cardia, 187 cancer occurred. Compared nonsmokers, current smokers were at increased...
Statins are commonly used cholesterol-lowering drugs that have proapoptotic and antimetastatic activities could affect cancer risk or progression. Results from previous epidemiologic studies of the association between statin use been inconsistent. We investigated with total advanced prostate cancer, latter being most important endpoint to prevent.We analyzed data an ongoing prospective cohort study 34,989 US male health professionals who were free in 1990 followed 2002. Participants reported...
Abstract BACKGROUND. Adiposity has been linked inconsistently with prostate cancer, and few studies have evaluated whether such associations vary by disease aggressiveness. METHODS. The authors prospectively examined body mass index (BMI) adult weight change in relation to cancer incidence mortality 287,760 men ages 50 years 71 at enrollment (1995–1996) the National Institutes of Health‐AARP Diet Health Study. At baseline, participants completed questionnaires regarding height, weight,...
<h3>Background</h3> Obesity is a risk factor for postmenopausal breast cancer, but the role of timing and amount adult weight change in cancer unclear. <h3>Methods</h3> We prospectively examined relations adiposity to among 99 039 women National Institutes Health–AARP Diet Health Study. Anthropometry was assessed by self-report 1996. Through 2000, 2111 incident cases were ascertained. <h3>Results</h3> Current body mass index (BMI) (calculated as kilograms divided height meters squared), BMI...
At present, only three risk factors for prostate cancer have been firmly established; these are all nonmodifiable: age, race, and a positive family history of cancer. However, numerous modifiable also implicated in the development In current review, we summarize epidemiologic data location, selected behavioral relation to onset Although available not entirely consistent, possible preventative include increased physical activity, intakes tomatoes, cruciferous vegetables, soy. Factors that may...
In July, 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) commenced work to update 2010 Global Recommendations on Physical Activity for and established a Guideline Development Group (GDG) comprising expert public health scientists practitioners inform drafting of 2020 Guidelines Sedentary Behavior. The overall task GDG was review scientific evidence provide advice WHO amount physical activity sedentary behavior associated with optimal in children adolescents, adults, older adults (> 64 years), also...
Epidemiologic studies of pancreatic cancer risk have reported null or nonsignificant positive associations for obesity, while height been null. Waist and hip circumference evaluated infrequently. A pooled analysis 14 cohort on 846,340 individuals was conducted; 2,135 were diagnosed with during follow-up. Study-specific relative risks (RRs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated by Cox proportional hazards models, then using a random effects model. Compared to body mass index (BMI) at...
Objectives Latent class trajectory modelling (LCTM) is a relatively new methodology in epidemiology to describe life-course exposures, which simplifies heterogeneous populations into homogeneous patterns or classes. However, for given dataset, it possible derive scores of different models based on number classes, model structure and property. Here, we rationalise systematic framework ‘core’ favoured model. Methods We developed an eight-step framework: step 1: scoping model; 2: refining the...
