Background The true causes of the obesity epidemic are not well understood and there few longitudinal population-based data published examining this issue. objective analysis was to examine trends in occupational physical activity during past 5 decades explore how these relate concurrent changes body weight U.S. Methodology/Principal Findings Analysis energy expenditure for occupations private industry since 1960 using from Bureau Labor Statistics.

Abstract Purpose : To determine the level of anti‐fat bias in health professionals specializing obesity and identify personal characteristics that correlate with both implicit explicit bias. Research Methods Procedures The Implicit Associations Test (IAT) a self‐report questionnaire assessing attitudes, experiences obesity, demographic was administered to clinicians researchers attending opening session an international conference ( N = 389). IAT used assess overall weight (associating...
Exercise guidelines for individuals with diabetes include both aerobic and resistance training although few studies have directly examined this exercise combination.To examine the benefits of alone, a combination on hemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)) in type 2 diabetes.A randomized controlled trial which 262 sedentary men women Louisiana HbA(1c) levels 6.5% or higher were enrolled 9-month program between April 2007 August 2009.Forty-one participants assigned to nonexercise control group, 73 3 days...

Background. The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), which includes walking, balance, and chair stands tests, independently predicts mobility disability activities of daily living disability. To date, however, there is no definitive evidence from randomized controlled trials that SPPB scores can be improved. Our objective was to assess the effect a comprehensive physical activity (PA) intervention on other performance measures.
Background— The combined associations of changes in cardiorespiratory fitness and body mass index (BMI) with mortality remain controversial uncertain. Methods Results— We examined the independent BMI all-cause cardiovascular disease (CVD) 14 345 men (mean age 44 years) at least 2 medical examinations. Fitness, metabolic equivalents (METs), was estimated from a maximal treadmill test. calculated using measured weight height. Changes between baseline last examinations over 6.3 years were...
Background: In light of the current obesity epidemic, treatment models are needed that can prevent weight gain or provide loss.We examined long-term effects a supervised program moderate-intensity exercise on body and composition in previously sedentary, overweight moderately obese men women.We hypothesized 16-month verified would loss group compared with controls.Methods: This was randomized controlled efficacy trial.Participants were recruited from 2 midwestern universities their...
OBJECTIVE—To quantify the relation of fitness to mortality among men with diabetes, adjusted for BMI and within levels BMI. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—In this observational cohort study, we calculated all-cause death rates in diabetes across quartiles categories. Study participants were 2,196 (average age 49.3 years, SD 9.5) who underwent a medical examination, including maximal exercise test, during 1970 1995, follow-up 31 December 1996. RESULTS—We identified 275 deaths 32,161 person-years...
Objective To report sex- and age-specific physical fitness levels in European adolescents. Methods A sample of 3428 adolescents (1845 girls) aged 12.5–17.49 years from 10 cities Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece (an inland city an island city), Hungary, Italy, Spain Sweden was assessed the Healthy Lifestyle Europe by Nutrition Adolescence study between 2006 2008. The authors muscular fitness, speed/agility, flexibility cardiorespiratory using nine different tests: handgrip, bent arm...
Current knowledge on the prognosis of metabolically healthy but obese phenotype is limited due to exclusive use body mass index define obesity and lack information cardiorespiratory fitness. We aimed test following hypotheses: (i) individuals have a higher fitness level than their abnormal peers; (ii) after accounting for fitness, benign condition, in terms cardiovascular disease mortality. Fitness was assessed by maximal exercise treadmill fat per cent (BF%) hydrostatic weighing or...
Background Previous studies have been unable to characterise the association between physical activity and obesity, possibly because most relied on inaccurate measures of obesity. Methods Findings We carried out a cross sectional analysis 5,500 12-year-old children enrolled in Avon Longitudinal Study Parents Children. Total minutes moderate vigorous (MVPA) were measured using Actigraph accelerometer. Fat mass obesity (defined as top decile fat mass) Lunar Prodigy dual x-ray emission...
<h3>Background</h3> The metabolic syndrome is a prevalent condition that carries with it an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and mortality. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) mortality in healthy men those syndrome. <h3>Methods</h3> sample included 19 223 men, aged 20 to 83 years, who received clinical evaluation 1979 1995 follow-up through December 31, 1996. There were 15 466 (80.5%) 3757 (19.5%)....
Methodological limitations compromise the validity of U.S. nutritional surveillance data and empirical foundation for formulating dietary guidelines public health policies.Evaluate National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) caloric intake throughout its history, examine trends in estimates as NHANES measurement protocols evolved.Validity from 28,993 men 34,369 women, aged 20 to 74 years I (1971-1974) through 2009-2010 was assessed by: calculating physiologically credible energy...
