AADAHL, M., and T. JØRGENSEN. Validation of a New Self-Report Instrument for Measuring Physical Activity. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 35, No. 7, pp. 1196–1202, 2003. Purpose Development validation physical activity scale measuring in 24 h sports, work, leisure time on an average weekday. Methods For development the scale, 2500 randomly selected Danish men women between age 20 60 were contacted by mail asked to select frequent relevant activities from number known MET intensity. The...
<b>Objective</b> To investigate the effect of systematic screening for risk factors ischaemic heart disease followed by repeated lifestyle counselling on 10 year development at a population level. <b>Design</b> Randomised controlled community based trial. <b>Setting</b> Suburbs Copenhagen, Denmark <b>Participants</b> 59 616 people aged 30-60 years randomised with different age and sex randomisation ratios to an intervention group (n=11 629) control (n=47 987). <b>Intervention</b> The was...
Abstract High blood cholesterol is typically considered a feature of wealthy western countries 1,2 . However, dietary and behavioural determinants are changing rapidly throughout the world 3 using lipid-lowering medications at varying rates. These changes can have distinct effects on levels high-density lipoprotein (HDL) non-HDL cholesterol, which different human health 4,5 trends HDL over time not been previously reported in global analysis. Here we pooled 1,127 population-based studies...
Abstract Hand grip strength is a widely used proxy of muscular fitness, marker frailty, and predictor range morbidities all-cause mortality. To investigate the genetic determinants variation in strength, we perform large-scale discovery analysis combined sample 195,180 individuals identify 16 loci associated with ( P <5 × 10 −8 ) analyses. A number these contain genes implicated structure function skeletal muscle fibres ACTG1 ), neuronal maintenance signal transduction PEX14, TGFA, SYT1...
Objective To investigate the prevalence of anxiety and depression among patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) evaluate association these mental health issues self-management behaviour. Methods In this nationwide cross-sectional study, we analysed data from 12 713 adult Danish rheumatoid (RA), psoriatic (PsA) or spondyloarthritis (SpA). Patients received an electronic questionnaire covering sociodemographics, behaviour status. Questionnaire were linked to clinical Rheumatology database...
Background: Prolonged sitting time has been associated with adverse health outcomes. Interventions at work may contribute to reduced sitting. The objective was test if a multicomponent work-based intervention can reduce and the number of prolonged periods (> 30 min), increase sit-to-stand transitions decrease waist circumference body fat percentage among office workers. Primary outcomes were: change in time, follow-up 1 month later. Methods: At four workplaces, 19 offices (317 workers total)...
IntroductionFrail elderly are at higher risk of negative outcomes such as disability, low quality life, and hospital admissions. Furthermore, a peak in readmission acutely admitted patients is seen shortly after discharge. An investigation into the daily life experiences frail discharge seems important to address these issues. The aim this study was explore how experience 1 week from an acute admission.MethodsThe qualitative methodological approach interpretive description. Data were...
The aim of this report is to investigate the efficacy an individually tailored, theory-based behavioural intervention for reducing daily sitting time, pain and fatigue, as well improving health-related quality life, general self-efficacy, physical function cardiometabolic biomarkers in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).In randomised controlled trial 150 RA were or a no-intervention control group. group received three individual motivational counselling sessions short message service...
Introduction The aim of the study was to investigate if (a) substituting total sedentary time or long bouts with standing various types physical activity and (b) brief bouts; is associated obesity indicators using a cross sectional isotemporal substitution approach among blue-collar workers. Methods A 692 workers from transportation, manufacturing cleaning sectors wore an Actigraph GT3X+ accelerometer on thigh for 1–4 working days. (sit lie), standing, walking, moderate vigorous (MVPA) days...
ABSTRACT Objective Despite advancements in pharmacological treatments, living with inflammatory arthritis (IA) (including rheumatoid (RA), psoriatic (PsA), and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA)) can make it challenging to engage social activities, which may increase the risk of loneliness. Although loneliness is predominantly prevalent IA, its origin impact on mental health status daily life IA remain unexplored. Therefore, objective this study was describe experiences people relation Methods...
Inflammatory arthritis affects approximately 2–3% of adults worldwide. For patients newly diagnosed with arthritis, effective self-management is crucial, as they often face several physiological, emotional, and social challenges. A intervention called NISMA was thus developed to cater this group. This study aimed evaluate the feasibility fidelity before conducting a full-scale randomized controlled trial. conducted single-center Twenty participants were expected be sufficient for assessing...
Physical activity level and cardiorespiratory fitness are both inversely associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases all-cause mortality. questionnaires often validated against objectively measured maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max).To validate a self-report physical questionnaire VO2max furthermore to establish whether simple question on self-rated could predict VO2max.A total 102 men women aged between 35 65 years were recruited from an ongoing population-based intervention study,...
To validate the construct validity of a new version Physical Activity Scale (PAS 2) for measuring average weekly physical activity sleep, work, and leisure time to determine whether further criterion validation is justified.The responses questionnaire was evaluated by cognitive interviewing in 16 Danish men women aged 21-70 years. Construct validated 342 35-66 years assessing agreement between 24-h MET-scores obtained from measured PAS 2 1), previously found overestimate activity.Cognitive...
To assess muscular fitness by hand grip strength (HGS) and lower limb extension power (LEP) to explore associations with age, leisure time physical activity (LTPA) body composition.A population-based sample of 19-72-year-old men women were invited participate in the health survey 'Health2006'. The response rate was 43.8% (N=3471), 55% women, mean age 49 ± 13 years.Height, weight, waist circumference, HGS LEP measured participants answered a self-administered questionnaire. subsample subjects...
Given the unfavourable health outcomes associated with sedentary behaviours, there is a need to better understand context in which these behaviours take place address this public concern. We explored self-reported by type of day (work/non-work), occupation, and perceptions towards physical activity, large sample adults.We assessed cross-sectionally 35,444 working adults (mean ± SD age: 44.5 13.0 y) from French NutriNet-Santé web-based cohort. Participants as domain-specific sitting time...
Pooling data from thigh-worn accelerometers across multiple studies has great potential to advance evidence on the health benefits of physical activity. This requires harmonization information body postures, activity types, volumes and time patterns different brands devices. The aim this study is compare behavior estimates provided by three accelerometers.Twenty participants volunteered for a 7-day free-living measurement. Three - ActiGraph GT3X+, Axivity AX3 ActivPAL Micro4 were randomly...
