Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and cancer are worldwide main causes of death with mortality trends varying across countries different levels economic development.We analysed in CVD for 37 European countries, five high-income non-European four leading emerging economies (BRICS) using data from the World Health Organization database period 1980-2010.In characterized by steep declines over last decades, while a downward trend started more recently was less pronounced. This resulted gradual...
A prospective radiographical study of sagittal standing posture among adults consecutively recruited from the general population.To analyze relation suboptimal with back pain and health-related quality life in adult males females.Clinical studies have shown association reduced life, but this has not been assessed population.As part EPIPorto population-based adults, 178 311 females were evaluated. Age, education, body mass index recorded. Radiographical data collection consisted 36-in....
Background: The FIFA 11+ has shown positive effects on balance and proprioception parameters in football players. As there have been very few research studies involving futsal, we examined the short long term of static dynamic balance, as well male amateur futsal players.Methods: Seventy-one players were randomized to two groups (FIFA 11+: n = 37, age: 27.33 ± 4.33 years; Control: 34, 25.55 4.65 years). Intervention lasted 10 weeks, 2 sessions per week, succeeded by a 10-week follow-up...

Purpose: A gold-standard measure for physical activity does not exist, partly because it is a latent system emerging from interactions between its attributes. This study aimed to validate measurement model using systems approach, specifically network model, assess gender invariance, and examine relationship with psychological network. Methods: Forty healthy participants (18 males, 22 females; mean age = 27.9 years, 95% CI 25.8–29.9) were recruited online. Physical was measured via...

Osteoarthritis is the most common chronic joint disease. In absence of an effective medical treatment and due to nature this condition, osteoarthritis diagnosis may finally result in decreased health-related quality life. Therefore, aim study was measure impact labelling on physical mental life.Subjects (n = 1132, 58.7% women) were approached as participants urban population-based cohort (EPIPorto). Self-reported information previous knee, hip or hand obtained rheumatologists established...
Abstract Background Sagittal postural patterns are associated with back pain in adolescents and adults. However, whether already observable during childhood is unknown. Such a finding would confirm as key period for posture differentiation thus chronic etiology. Objective The aims of this study were to identify describe girls boys school age. Design This was cross-sectional study. Methods Eligible children evaluated at age 7 the population-based birth cohort Generation XXI Portugal. Posture...
Objectives Adult sagittal posture is established during childhood and adolescence. A flattened or hypercurved spine associated with poorer musculoskeletal health in adulthood. Although anthropometry from birth onwards expected to be a key influence on design, this has never been assessed childhood. Our aim was estimate the association between body size throughout postural patterns at age 7. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting participants subsample of 1029 girls 1101 boys taking part...
