Physical inactivity and sedentary behavior are major concerns for public health. Although global initiatives have been successful in monitoring physical activity (PA) worldwide, there is no systematic action the of correlates these behaviors, especially low- middle-income countries. Here we describe prevalence distribution PA domains sitting time population sub-groups six south American Data from South Activity Sedentary Behavior Network (SAPASEN) were used, which includes representative...
Background/Objectives: Follow-up studies in very preterm infants are common, but fewer situated low- or middle-income countries. In a prospective cohort study, we explored longitudinal motor performance trajectories and influencing factors, including an early intervention program. Very (gestational age < 32 weeks and/or very-low-birth-weight 1500 g) the country of Suriname were included. Methods: We assessed 149 (49.7% boys) (mean gestational 29+6, mean birth weight 1271 at 3, 12, 24 months...
Physical activity (PA) plays an important role in the combat against noncommunicable diseases including cardiovascular diseases. In order to develop appropriate PA intervention programs, there is a need evaluate behavior. So far, are no published data on available for Suriname. Therefore, we aim describe behavior among multi-ethnic population living urban and rural areas of Suriname.The World Health Organization (WHO) STEPwise approach chronic disease risk factor surveillance (STEPS) was...
Our aim was to investigate the association of macroeconomic, human development, and demographic factors with different domains physical activity sitting time among South American adults.We used data from nationally representative samples in Argentina (n = 26,932), Brazil 52,490), Chile 3866), Colombia 14,208), Ecuador 19,883), Peru 8820), Uruguay 2403). outcomes included leisure (≥150 min/week), transport (≥10 occupational total min/week) activity, as well (≥4 h/day), which were collected...
The present article describes the South American Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Network, which was designed to provide ongoing transnational empirical evidence about physical activity sedentary behavior in America. first goal of this initiative form a representative body researchers policy makers from all countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay Venezuela) establish priorities targets for short, medium long term....
To determine the prevalence of persistent symptoms after having coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a cohort Suriname, and assess factors associated with long COVID.A sample adults 18 years older who were registered 3-4 months previously national database because positive COVID-19 test selected. They interviewed about socioeconomic characteristics, pre-COVID-19 health status lifestyle, during COVID-19. A subset participants underwent physical examination to body mass index, waist...
O objetivo do presente estudo foi descrever a prevalência de participação em aulas Educação Física (EF) entre adolescentes sul americanos acordo com correlatos sociodemográficos. Foram utilizados dados 11 países sul-americanos, compreendendo 173.288 (>11 19 anos). A EF autorrelatada (0, 1, 2 e ≥3 dias/semana). Os sociodemográficos foram gênero, faixa etária status segurança alimentar. Modelos regressão Poisson usados para estimar as razões prevalência. Cerca 16% dos sul-americanos não...
Hypertension is the leading risk factor responsible for premature death worldwide, but its burden has shifted to low- and middle-income countries. Therefore, we studied hypertension cardiovascular in population of Suriname, a country with predominantly urban African Asian ancestry.A random sample 1,800 noninstitutionalized men women aged 18-70 years was selected be interviewed at home examined local hospital factors, asymptomatic organ damage, disease.The 1,157 participants (37% men) were...
Obesity, hypertension and diabetes are on a dramatic rise in low-income middle-income countries, this foretells an overwhelming increase chronic disease burden from cardiovascular disease. Therefore, rapid action should be taken through preventive population-based programmes. However, these regions, data the population distribution of risk factors, intermediate final end points for scarce. The Healthy Life Suriname (HELISUR) study is Suriname, which part Caribbean Community. HELISUR...
Objective: The role of different physical activity (PA) characteristics, i.e. domain, duration and intensity in obesity prevention still requires investigation. Furthermore, ethnicity can modify the effect PA on body composition. Therefore, we aim to describe association between characteristics across Asian- African-Surinamese population, living capital Suriname.Design: Between February 2013 July 2015, included 1157 healthy subjects, 18–70 years, from Healthy Life Suriname (HELISUR) study....
Objective: The global burden of disease attributable to high blood pressure showed that 54% stroke and 47% ishaemic heart worldwide were due hypertension. Hypertension is still the main risk factor for premature death and, in particular, low- middle-income countries. We aimed assess prehypertension hypertension prevalence among a predominantly Asian African population living urban Suriname, country South America. Design Method: used data from Healthy Life Suriname study, which 1,152 men...
Abstract Background Students enrolling in higher education often adopt lifestyles linked to worse mental health, potentially contributing the peak age onset of health problems early adulthood. However, extensive research is limited by focusing on single lifestyle behaviors, including time points, within cultural contexts, and a set symptoms. Methods The UNIversity students’ LIFEstyle behaviors Mental cohort (UNILIFE-M) prospective worldwide study aiming investigate associations between...

Objective: Hypertension is still the main risk factor for premature death worldwide and, in particular, low- and middle-income countries. We aimed to assess prehypertension hypertension prevalence among a predominantly Asian African population living urban Suriname, country South America. Design method: used data from Healthy Life Suriname study, which 1,159 men women aged 18–70 y capital were randomly selected. Questionnaires on demographic factors, disease history, use of medication...
The Pain Attitudes and Beliefs Scale for Physiotherapists (PABS-PT) is a questionnaire that frequently used to measure the treatment orientation of physiotherapists other healthcare providers toward low back pain (LBP). Previous validation studies PABS-PT have reported consistently exploratory factor analysis (EFA) yielded two-factor model with factors “biomedical” “biopsychosocial.” However, there remain concerns regarding composition these two internal consistency “biopsychosocial” factor....
