Abstract Aims While high-volume physical activity (PA) has been linked to elevated coronary artery calcification (CAC), the role of intensity vs. duration PA not investigated. The purpose study was examine in relation CAC. Methods and results Data are from 23 383 apparently healthy men who completed a questionnaire underwent CAC scanning as part preventive examination. Self-reported categorized into four groups average weekly [average intensity: 1, 3–5.9, 6–8.9, 9–12 metabolic equivalents...

Prior cross-sectional studies have suggested that very high levels of physical activity (PA) are associated with a higher prevalence coronary artery calcium (CAC). However, less is known regarding the association between high-volume PA and progression CAC over time.

Background: Associations among cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), different adiposity exposures, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in women are not well defined. Materials Methods: A total of 19,838 completed a baseline examination between 1971 2013. Measures included body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height (W:HT) ratio, skinfold-derived percent fat (% Fat), CRF estimated from maximal treadmill test. categories were low (quintile 1), moderate (quintiles 2-3),...

The authors present the case of a 68-year-old lady with 35-year history bipolar affective disorder (BPAD) type I, who developed frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Description psychopathology is illustrated examples patient9s writings in order to demonstrate cognitive abilities at different stages. diagnosis supported by MRI and SPECT scans. discuss difficulties differentiating clinical presentation chronic BPAD FTD examine evidence for two important questions: Is there relationship between...

Relatively little is known regarding the association between objective measures of physical function such as cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and cognitive tests in healthy older adults.To evaluate relationship CRF adults aged 55 older.Between 2008 2017, 4,931 men women underwent a comprehensive preventive exam at Cooper Clinic Dallas, Texas. was determined by duration maximal treadmill exercise test. Cognitive evaluated with Montreal Assessment (MoCA). In multivariate model, adjusted odds...

J Strength Cond Res 35(11): 3021-3027, 2021-We examined Movement Screening (FMS) associations among adults aged 55 years or older. Apparently healthy men (n = 425) women 158) completed a preventive medical examination between 2013 2018. Subjects were grouped by age sex to determine mean scores for...

To examine whether higher levels of cardiorespiratory fitness are related to increased alcohol consumption and dependence among a large sample adults attending preventive medicine clinic.A cross-sectional study 38,653 apparently healthy patients who visited the Cooper Clinic (Dallas, TX) for medical examinations (1988-2019) enrolled in Center Longitudinal Study. The primary independent variable was fitness, based on maximal treadmill test, dependent variables were (self-reported). relations...

Background: Although physical inactivity, obesity, and low serum vitamin D [25-hydroxyvitamin D, 25(OH)D] are common among women, joint associations these biomarkers not well-described. Materials Methods: A total of 7553 healthy women received a comprehensive examination (2006-2018), including self-reported activity (PA), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist:height ratio (W:HT), percent fat (%Fat), 25(OH)D. Participants were divided into four categories PA based on current...

Abstract Background Schools play an important role in providing access to physical activity opportunities for children. There are common economic and gender disparities health-related fitness among children, which may inform a school’s programming needs. The purpose of this study is gain better understanding about gender, school-level socioeconomic status, children’s cardiorespiratory fitness. Methods This observational used 2017–2018 school year data from schools the Dallas Metropolitan...

This study summarized protocols in the Lisbon Study for Development and Evaluation of Musculoskeletal Fitness Standards Youth assessed associations between fitness assessments health outcomes. The sample was 529 children adolescents (10 to 18 yr). included handgrip, vertical jump, long plank, lower body power. outcomes were total hip bone mineral content, density, lean tissue mass. Correlation analyses examined unadjusted adjusted size maturity. After adjustment, females, power associated...

Purpose: To examine the association between cardiorespiratory fitness (fitness) and all-cause mortality in women with metabolic syndrome (MetSyn). Methods: The sample included 1798 MetSyn (mean age 50.2 years) who received a comprehensive preventive baseline examination 1978 2016, follow-up through December 31, 2017. was identified using Adult Treatment Panel-III Guidelines. Fitness determined by duration of maximal treadmill exercise test grouped as fit or unfit on basis upper 80% lower 20%...

We examined the associations of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and white blood cell count (WBC) with mortality outcomes.A total 52,056 apparently healthy adults completed a comprehensive health examination, including maximal treadmill test chemistry analyses. CRF was categorized as high, moderate, or low by age sex; WBC sex-specific quartiles.During 17.8 ± 9.5 years (mean SD) follow-up, 4088 deaths occurred. When regressed jointly, significantly decreased all-cause across categories...

FITNESSGRAM® is the most widely used criterion-referenced tool to assess/report on student health-related fitness across US. Potential weight-related biases with two common tests of musculoskeletal fitness–the trunk extension and Back-Saver Sit-and-Reach (sit-and-reach)—have been hypothesized, though have not studied. To determine association between test performance weight status, we use data from 571,133 New York City public school 4 th -12 grade students (85% non-White; 75% qualified for...

We examined individual and joint associations among high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), cardiorespiratory fitness (fitness), mortality in healthy men women. Between January 1, 2000 December 31, 2016, 30,077 adults (31.3% women) received a comprehensive physical examination. Fitness was determined from maximal treadmill exercise test duration. Participants were categorized as unfit (Quintile 1) fit (Quintiles 2-5), by normal (<2 mg/L) elevated (≥2 CRP categories. Adjusted hazard ratios...
