This study was conducted to criterion-validate the short format of International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) against health-related fitness.Participants included 951 men, aged 21-43 yr. VO2max by ergometer used measure cardiorespiratory fitness. Muscular fitness tests number sit-ups, push-ups, and squats performed during 60 s. activity assessed from IPAQ categories for health (health-enhancing physical (HEPA)) calculating total vigorous MET-hours per week. The participants were...
The 4th edition of the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations, NNR 2004, gives proportions between energy yielding nutrients, recommended daily intakes (RI) certain vitamins and minerals, reference values for in different age sex groups. Recommendations are also given dietary fibre, salt alcohol. on physical activity now included interaction with has been taken into account individual nutrient recommendations wherever appropriate. For adults 30minutes at least moderate intensity is recommended....
The health effects of daily activity behaviours (physical activity, sedentary time and sleep) are widely studied. While previous research has largely examined in isolation, recent studies have adjusted for multiple behaviours. However, the inclusion all traditional multivariate analyses not been possible due to perfect multicollinearity 24-h budget data. ensuing lack adjustment known on outcome undermines validity study findings. We describe a statistical approach that enables behaviours,...
The primary aim of the International Study Childhood Obesity, Lifestyle and Environment (ISCOLE) was to determine relationships between lifestyle behaviours obesity in a multi-national study children, investigate influence higher-order characteristics such as behavioural settings, physical, social policy environments, on observed within countries. targeted sample included 6000 10-year old children from 12 countries five major geographic regions world (Europe, Africa, Americas, South-East...

Previously, studies examining correlates of sedentary behavior have been limited by small sample size, restricted geographic area, and little socio-cultural variability. Further, few examined total time (SED) screen (ST) in the same population. This study aimed to investigate SED ST children around world.The included 5,844 (45.6% boys, mean age = 10.4 years) from sites Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Finland, India, Kenya, Portugal, South Africa, United Kingdom, States.

To determine the relationships between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), vigorous (VPA), sedentary time, and obesity in children from 12 countries representing a wide range of human development.The sample included 6539 age 9-11 yr. Times MVPA, VPA, behaviors were assessed by accelerometry. The body mass index (BMI; kg·m) was used to classify as obese based on z-scores (> +2 SD) World Health Organization reference data.The mean (SD) times spent behavior 60 (25) min·d, 18 (11) 513...
We compared 24-hour waist-worn accelerometer wear time characteristics of 9-11 year old children in the International Study Childhood Obesity, Lifestyle and Environment (ISCOLE) to similarly aged U.S. providing waking-hours data 2003-2006 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).Valid cases were defined as having ≥4 days with ≥10 hours waking a period, including one weekend day. Previously published algorithms for extracting total sleep episode from identifying (in both...
OBJECTIVE We study the effectiveness of GOAL Lifestyle Implementation Trial at 36-month follow-up. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Participants (n = 352, type 2 diabetes risk score FINDRISC 16.2 ± 3.3, BMI 32.6 5.0 kg/m2) received six lifestyle counseling sessions over 8 months. Measurements were baseline, 12 months (88.6%), and 36 (77.0%). RESULTS Statistically significant reduction was maintained in weight (−1.0 5.6 kg), (−0.5 2.1 kg/m2), serum total cholesterol (−0.4 1.1 mmol/l). CONCLUSIONS...

This systematic literature review examined the role of dietary macronutrient composition, food consumption and patterns in predicting weight or waist circumference (WC) change, with without prior reduction. The search covered year 2000 onwards. Prospective cohort studies, case-control studies interventions were included. had adult (18-70 y), mostly Caucasian participants. Out a total 1,517 abstracts, 119 full papers identified as potentially relevant. After careful scrutiny, 50 quality...
OBJECTIVE—“Real-world” implementation of lifestyle interventions is a challenge. The Good Ageing in Lahti Region (GOAL) Lifestyle Implementation Trial was designed for the primary health care setting, with and risk reduction objectives derived from major diabetes prevention efficacy trials. We report on program's effectiveness as well findings related to reach, adoption, implementation. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—A total 352 middle-aged participants elevated type 2 were recruited centers...
Accumulating scientific evidence shows physical activity to have profound health benefits amenable substantial public gains. Accordingly, recommendations on how much and what kind of enhances been issued. The 1995 recommendation from the U.S. Centres for Disease Control Prevention American College Sports Medicine has adapted worldwide, including Europe. Recently an extensive review new was undertaken refined were issued by Department Health Human Services. We summarise development consider...
Objective The aim was to assess associations between lifestyle behaviors and obesity in a multinational study of children from 12 countries representing wide range human development. Methods sample included 6,025 9–11 years age. Behavioral risk factors nocturnal sleep duration, moderate vigorous physical activity (MVPA), television viewing (TV time), healthy unhealthy diet pattern scores. Multilevel analyses were used obtain odds ratios for expressed per standard deviation each behavioral...
