The appropriate limit to the amount of daily sedentary time (ST) required minimize mortality is uncertain. This meta-analysis aimed quantify dose-response association between ST and all-cause explore cut-off point above which health impaired in adults aged 18–64 years old. We also examined whether there are differences studies using self-report those with device-based ST. Prospective cohort providing effect estimates (exposure) on (outcome) were identified via MEDLINE, PubMed, Scopus, Web...
Abstract Background Physical inactivity is a key contributor to the global burden of disease and disproportionately impacts wellbeing people experiencing mental illness. Increases in physical activity are associated with improvements symptoms illness reduction cardiometabolic risk. Reliable valid clinical tools that assess would improve evaluation intervention studies aim increase reduce sedentary behaviour living Methods The five-item Simple Activity Questionnaire (SIMPAQ) was developed by...
Social isolation and loneliness have been associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but few studies evaluated the impact social on mortality in people existing CVD, these are limited to Western populations. We examined whether risk individuals established CVD Taiwan.The cohort was composed 1267 patients confirmed 65 years or older followed up for 10 years. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used examine association between at baseline follow-up by...
Limited research has explored the relationship between non-leisure-time physical activity (NLTPA), including domestic and work-related activities, with depressive symptoms. This study was designed to elucidate independent associations leisure-time (LTPA), NLTPA, specific parameters of (frequency, duration intensity) symptoms in older adults. A total 2,727 persons aged ≥ 65 years participating 2005 Taiwan National Health Interview Survey were studied. Depressive measured by Center for...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND This study examined the association between fitness change and subsequent academic performance in Taiwanese schoolchildren from 7th grade to 9th grade. METHODS The graders 1 junior high school district participated this (N = 669). Academic was extracted records at end of each Cardiovascular ( CV ) fitness, sit‐and‐reach flexibility, bent‐leg curl‐ups, height weight for calculating body mass index BMI were assessed start RESULTS results showed that improvement but not...
This study examined the joint associations of sleep patterns and physical activity (PA) with all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer mortality. A total 341,248 adults (mean age = 39.7 years; men: 48.3%) were included in study, a 15-year follow-up. Participants reported duration disturbances (difficulty falling asleep, easily awakened, or use sleeping medication). PA was classified into 4 levels: <7.5, 7.5–14.9, 15.0–29.9, ≥30.0 metabolic equivalent hours per week (MET-h/week). To...
Abstract Background The relationship between joint changes in physical activity and adiposity with mortality is not well understood. We examined the association of these two established risk factors all-cause (ACM), cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer mortality. Methods used longitudinal data from Taiwan’s MJ Cohort, comprising 116,228 general population adults recruited 1998-2013 repeated measures 4.6 y (2.5) apart followed up for 11.9 (3.5). Physical activity, body mass index (BMI), waist...
This study investigated the construct validity of a computerised self-assessment tool to measure psychological, social and environmental influences young peoples' physical activity. First, analyses measure's factorial validity, invariance across, age, gender culture were conducted. Second, ability derived subscales discriminate between children representing different levels self-reported objectively measured activity behaviour was examined.Participants 1875 boys 2078 girls (total = 3958)...
Subjective well-being (SWB) and its relationship with physical activity have not been systematically investigated in older Chinese people. This study explored these issues using qualitative interviews a purposive sample of 23 community-dwelling adults (age 55-78 y, 12 women); 16 were physically active 7 inactive. Using cross-case analyses, dimensions SWB emerged: physical, psychological, developmental, material, spiritual, sociopolitical, social. Although elements may be shared across...
Background: objective measures of physical activity and function with a diverse cohort UK adults in their 70s 80s were used to investigate relative risk all-cause mortality diagnoses new diseases over 4-year period. Participants: two hundred forty older randomly recruited from 12 general practices urban suburban areas city the United Kingdom. Follow-up included 213 baseline sample. Methods: socio-demographic variables, height weight, self-reported diagnosed recorded at baseline. Seven-day...
The use of self-report measures physical activity is a serious methodological weakness in many studies and depressive symptoms. It still equivocal whether light protects older adults from symptoms.This study aimed to explore objectively measured activity, independent sedentary moderate-to-vigorous associated with reduced risk subsequent symptoms adults.This was 2-year prospective cohort study. A total 285 community-dwelling aged 65 years or were interviewed 2012. second wave assessment...
Sedentary behavior (SB) is associated with poor cognitive performance in the general population. Although people schizophrenia are highly sedentary and experience marked impairments, no study has investigated relationship between SB cognition schizophrenia.A total of 199 inpatients (mean [SD] age 44.0 [9.9] years, 61.3% male, mean illness duration 23.8 [6.5]) 60 sex matched controls were recruited. physical activity (PA) captured for 7 consecutive days an accelerometer. Cognitive was...
We investigated the effects of an acute bout resistance exercise on planning component executive function in late-middle-age adults.With a within-subjects design, 30 community-dwelling adults (mean age = 57.20 ± 2.93 yr, 16 females) experienced both and control treatment conditions. The condition involved two sets 10 repetitions 70% 10-repetition maximum seven exercises, whereas consisted reading. Planning was assessed before immediately after each via Tower London task.Acute facilitated...
