The updated 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (PAG) reaffirmed key recommendations regarding aerobic activity in the 2008 edition and recently introduced health risks of sedentary behaviors their association with physical activity.
Abstract Aims Central adiposity is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, even among people normal body mass index (BMI). We tested the hypothesis that regional fat deposits (trunk or leg fat) are altered risk of CVD postmenopausal women BMI. Methods and results included 2683 BMI (18.5 to <25 kg/m2) who participated in Women’s Health Initiative had no known at baseline. Body composition was determined by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. Incident events including...
Abstract The health effects of omega-3 fatty acids have been controversial. Here we report the results a de novo pooled analysis conducted with data from 17 prospective cohort studies examining associations between blood acid levels and risk for all-cause mortality. Over median 16 years follow-up, 15,720 deaths occurred among 42,466 individuals. We found that, after multivariable adjustment relevant factors, death all causes was significantly lower (by 15–18%, at least p < 0.003) in...
Background Food insecurity is a global leading public health challenge that affects not only developing countries but also developed countries, including the United States. About 50 million Americans are food insecure. In this study we examined associations of adult with all‐cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in nationally representative sample US adults. Methods Results We included 27 188 adults (age ≥40 years age) who participated National Health Nutrition Examination Survey from...
BackgroundBisphenol F (BPF) and bisphenol S (BPS) are increasingly used in consumer products as substitutes for A (BPA), a widespread environmental endocrine disruptor putative obesogen. However, studies on the effects of BPF BPS obesity human beings scarce. We examined associations BPA, BPF, exposure with US adults.MethodsWe included participants aged 20 years or older, who had available data concentrations (n=1709), from cross-sectional study, National Health Nutrition Examination Survey...
<h3>Importance</h3> Current public health guidelines for obesity prevention and control focus on promoting a normal body mass index (BMI), rarely addressing central obesity, which is reflected by high waist circumference (WC) common in the general population. Studies of association normal-weight with long-term outcomes are sparse. <h3>Objective</h3> To examine associations all-cause cause-specific mortality postmenopausal women United States. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> A...
OBJECTIVE To examine the association of maternal prepregnancy diabetes, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and 12 subtypes congenital anomalies newborn. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We included 29,211,974 live births with age ranging from 18 to 49 years old documented in National Vital Statistics System U.S. 2011 2018. Information on GDM, was retrieved birth certificates. Log-binomial regression used estimate risk ratios (RRs) 95% CIs for overall by subtypes. RESULTS Of births, there were...
Background Most of the women who smoke before pregnancy continue smoking during pregnancy, and some start to quit after being pregnant, although existing guidelines for recommend that should pregnancy. Findings about timing intensity maternal smoking, especially low-intensity (1–9 cigarettes per day), preterm birth are still inconsistent ambiguous. This study aimed examine association doses first or second trimester with in a large-scale population-based retrospective cohort study. Methods...
Bisphenol F (BPF) and bisphenol S (BPS) are increasingly used as substitutes for A (BPA), an environmental obesogen. However, health effects of BPF BPS remain unclear. In this study, we evaluated the associations BPA, BPF, with obesity in children adolescents.We data from U.S. National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2013 to 2014, a nationally representative study. We included 745 participants aged 6 17 years old. General was defined based on 2000 Centers Disease Control Prevention body...

Background Dietary recommendations regarding protein intake have been focused on the amount of protein. However, such without considering specific sources may be simplistic and insufficient. Methods Results We included 102 521 postmenopausal women enrolled in Women’s Health Initiative between 1993 1998, followed them through February 2017. During 1 876 205 person‐years follow‐up, 25 976 deaths occurred. Comparing highest with lowest quintile, plant was inversely associated all‐cause...
Background Current cholesterol guidelines have recommended very low low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) treatment targets for people at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, recent observational studies indicated that LDL-C levels may be associated with increased mortality and other adverse outcomes. The association between long-term overall among the U.S. general population remains to determined. Methods Results This prospective cohort study included a nationally representative...
