The global rise in obesity and steady decline sperm quality are two alarming trends that have emerged during recent decades. In parallel, evidence from model organisms shows paternal diet can affect offspring metabolic health a process involving tRNA-derived small RNA (tsRNA). Here, we report human acutely sensitive to nutrient flux, both terms of motility changes tsRNA. Over the course 2-week intervention, which first introduced healthy followed by rich sugar, increased stabilized at high...
Abstract Aims Cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, and obesity in adulthood are risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, little is known regarding the associations of these factors, already adolescence, with later disability due to chronic CVD. Hence, we investigated cardiorespiratory body mass index (BMI) adolescence specific causes CVD (i.e. cerebrovascular disease, ischaemic heart failure). Methods results This population-based cohort study included 1 078 685 male...
Background Excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) during pregnancy is a major public health concern associated with negative outcomes for both mother and child. Scalable interventions are needed, digital have the potential to reach many women promote healthy GWG. Most previous studies of been small pilot or not included from all BMI categories. We therefore examined effectiveness smartphone app in large sample (n=305) covering Objective To investigate 6-month intervention (the HealthyMoms...
Purpose This study aimed to investigate longitudinal associations of objectively measured physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with body composition fitness at a 12-month follow-up in healthy Swedish 4-yr-old children. Methods The data from the population-based MINISTOP trial were collected between 2014 2016, this included 138 children who control group. PA SB assessed using wrist-worn ActiGraph (wGT3x-BT) accelerometer during seven 24-h periods and, subsequently, defined as...
Background: The health behaviors smoking, risky alcohol consumption, insufficient physical activity, and poor diet constitute the main contributors to non-communicable diseases. Clustering of risk is common increases these Despite benefits, it difficult change behaviors. Psychosocial factors could play a role in behavior change, with research showing relationships between unfavorable psychosocial However, many studies only investigated one or two at time. present study, therefore, aimed...
Abstract Background Childhood overweight and obesity is a public health priority. We have previously reported the efficacy of parent-oriented mobile (mHealth) app-based intervention (MINISTOP 1.0) which showed improvements in healthy lifestyle behaviors. However, effectiveness MINISTOP app real-world conditions needs to be established. Objective To evaluate 6-month mHealth 2.0 app) on children’s intake fruits, vegetables, sweet savory treats, drinks, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity,...
Objective To investigate the associations of muscular strength in adolescence with later disability pension (DP), across different body mass index (BMI) categories and combination aerobic fitness. Method This prospective cohort study consisted males aged 16–19 years, recruited from Swedish military conscription register between 1969 1994. A total 1 212 503 adolescents met all inclusion criteria were therefore included analyses. Knee extension, handgrip elbow flexion fitness (bicycle...
Abstract Large epidemiological studies that use accelerometers for physical behavior and sleep assessment differ in the location of accelerometer attachment signal aggregation metric chosen. This study aimed to assess comparability acceleration metrics between commonly-used body-attachment locations 24 hours, waking sleeping test PA cut points dominant non-dominant wrist. Forty-five young adults (23 women, 18–41 years) were included GT3X + (ActiGraph, Pensacola, FL, USA) placed on their...
Background: Low physical fitness, obesity, and the combination of two in adolescence may be related to risk for disability adulthood, but this has rarely been studied. Objective: To examine individual combined associations cardiorespiratory fitness obesity male adolescents with later receipt a pension due all specific causes. Design: Population-based cohort study. Setting: Sweden. Participants: 1 079 128 Swedish aged 16 19 years who were conscripted into military between 1972 1994....
The aim of this study was to examine the associations fitness and physical activity with academic achievement in children overweight/obesity. A total 106 (10.0 ± 1.1y, 61 boys) participated. components were assessed by field laboratory-based tests. Physical measured via accelerometry. a standardised test school-grades.

Methods This population-based cohort study linked data from Swedish Military Conscription Register during adolescence to CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study Cardiorespiratory was assessed using a maximal cycle-ergometer test, knee extension muscular strength evaluated through an isometric dynamometer. Coronary via Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) stenosis...
Abstract Life’s Essential 8 (LE8) is a score that includes modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Four health behaviors (diet, physical activity, nicotine exposure and sleep health) four (non-HDL cholesterol, blood glucose, pressure body mass index) are included. These promote inflammation, inflammation one of the biological mechanisms disease development. Thus, we examined relationship between measured by LE8 low-grade high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in...
Physical fitness is a powerful marker of health in youth. Studies adolescents and adults suggest that higher fat mass related to worse physical fitness. However, there limited knowledge whether fat-free are associated with already preschoolers. Baseline data from the MINISTOP (Mobile-based INtervention Intended STop Obesity Preschoolers) trial was utilized for this cross-sectional analysis. Body composition assessed using air-displacement plethysmography. Fat index [fat (kg)/height2 (m)]...
To investigate 1) differences in cardiometabolic risk and HOMA of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) across BMI categories (underweight to morbid obesity), 2) whether fit children have lower risk/HOMA-IR than unfit each category, 3) normal-weight obese children.A pooled study including cross-sectional data from three projects (n = 1,247 aged 8-11 years). Cardiometabolic was assessed using the sum sex- age-specific z scores for triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, glucose, average systolic diastolic...
To date, few mobile health (mHealth) interventions aimed at changing lifestyle behaviors have measured long term effectiveness. At the 6-month follow-up MINISTOP trial found a statistically significant intervention effect for composite score comprised of fat mass index (FMI) as well dietary and physical activity variables; however, no was observed FMI. Therefore, aim this study to investigate if 12-months after baseline measurements: (i) improved FMI (ii) had maintained on variables. A...
