Evidence on the relation between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in older adults is based primarily clinical trials exercise programs institutionalized persons cross-sectional studies community-dwelling persons. Moreover, there no evidence whether sedentary behavior (LTSB) associated with HRQoL independently LTPA. This study examined longitudinal association LTPA, LTSB, Spain.Prospective cohort 1,097 aged 62 over. In 2003 LTPA MET-hr/week was...
OBJECTIVE Diabetes prevalence and incidence increase among individuals with hypothyroidism but also those hyperthyroxinemia, which seems contradictory. Both high free thyroxine (fT4) thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are present in the resistance to thyroid syndrome. A mild acquired might occur general population be associated diabetes.
