Whether a healthy lifestyle impacts longevity in the presence of multimorbidity is unclear. We investigated associations between and life expectancy people with without multimorbidity.A total 480,940 middle-aged adults (median age 58 years [range 38-73], 46% male, 95% white) were analysed UK Biobank; this longitudinal study collected data 2006 2010, participants followed up until 2016. extracted 36 chronic conditions defined as 2 or more conditions. Four factors, based on national...

Multimorbidity is an emerging public health priority. Physical activity (PA) recommended as one of the main lifestyle behaviours, yet benefits PA for people with multimorbidity are unclear. We assessed on mortality and life expectancy in without multimorbidity. Using UK Biobank dataset, we extracted data 36 chronic conditions defined (a) 2 or more conditions, (b) combined self-reported overall health, (c) top-10 most common comorbidities. Leisure-time (LTPA) total (TPA) were measured by...

Multimorbidity has become one of the main challenges in recent years for patients, health care providers and systems globally. However, literature describing burden multimorbidity elderly population, especially longitudinal trends is very limited. Physical activity recommended as lifestyle changes prevention management multiple chronic diseases worldwide; however, evidence on its association with remains inconclusive. Therefore, we aimed to assess between physical a nationally representative...

Conflicting findings and knowledge gaps exist regarding links between anemia, physical activity, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression, mortality in moderate-to-advanced CKD. Using the CKD Outcomes Practice Patterns Study, we report associations hemoglobin (Hgb) with HRQOL Hgb activity progression stage 3-5 nondialysis (ND)-CKD patients.Prospectively collected data were analyzed from 2,121 ND-CKD patients, aged ≥18 years, at 43 nephrologist-run US...
