Background This study examines the associations between device-measured sleep regularity and risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), aims to determine whether sufficient duration attenuates or eliminates effects irregular on MACE risk. Methods A prospective cohort adults aged 40–79 years from UK Biobank who wore wrist-attached accelerometers for 7 days was conducted. Sleep Regularity Index (SRI) scores were calculated each participant using a validated algorithm, categorised as...
Abstract COVID-19 has spread across the globe with higher burden placed in Europe and North America. However, rate of transmission recently picked up low- middle-income countries, particularly Indian subcontinent. There is a severe underreporting bias existing data available from these countries mostly due to limitation resources accessibility. Most studies comparing cross-country cases or fatalities could fail account for this systematic reach erroneous conclusions. This paper provides...

The includes recommendations possible intervention strategies designed to address this lack awareness. Design participants...
Incidental physical activity as part of daily living may offer feasibility advantages over traditional exercise. We examined the joint associations incidental and sedentary behaviour with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) risk.
Sleep is a crucial lifestyle factor with impacts on mental and cognitive health. The associations between objectively measured sleep risk of incident dementia are not yet fully understood. To evaluate the device-measured duration regularity explore whether moderates association dementia. Population-based prospective cohort study 82,391 adults aged 43 to 79 years from UK Biobank accelerometry subsample, collected 2013 2015, followed up 2022. Device-based (h/day) index (SRI), metric ranging...
Abstract Background Sleep, physical activity, and nutrition (SPAN) are critical behaviours for health, although they have traditionally been studied separately. We examined the combined associations of SPAN minimum between-individual variations associated with meaningfully lower all-cause mortality risk. Methods This prospective cohort analysis included 59,078 participants from UK Biobank (median age: 64.0 years; 45.4% male) who wore trackers 7 days self-reported dietary data....
Despite surgery being the primary curative treatment for cancer, patients with compromised preoperative physical, nutritional, and psychological status are often at a higher risk complications. While various screening tools exist to assess status, there is currently no standardised self-reporting tool, or established cut-off points comprehensive assessment. This study aims develop, validate, implement an online tool that identifies modifiable factors in cancer patients. mixed-methods...
Puerperal sepsis is accountable for maternal death worldwide. The health promotion behaviour of postpartum mothers may contribute to preventing puerperal sepsis, which would promote health. study aims identify the factors influencing on among postnatal mothers.

BACKGROUND: Few middle-aged and older adults engage in regular leisure-time exercise. Incidental physical activity (IPA) encompasses activities of daily living outside the domain. No dose-response study is available to guide IPA-focused interventions guidelines. We examined associations device-assessed IPA intensities (vigorous [VIPA], moderate [MIPA], light [LIPA]) with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) mortality, we estimated “health equivalence” LIPA MIPA against 1 minute VIPA....
Background: Sleep, physical activity, and nutrition (SPAN) are key determinants of both life expectancy (lifespan) disease-free (healthspan) yet often studied promoted in isolation. This study examined the joint association these three behaviours with lifespan healthspan. Methods: Prospective cohort analysis 59,078 participants from UK Biobank accelerometry sub-study (median age: 64.0 years; 45.4% male) who wore accelerometers for 7 days self-reported dietary data. Moderate to vigorous...
