Physical activity, obesity and mortality: does pattern of physical activity have stronger epidemiological associations?
BACKGROUND Most studies of physical activity (PA) epidemiology use behaviour measured at a single time-point. We examined whether 'PA patterns' (consistently low, consistently high or inconsistent PA levels over time) showed different epidemiological relationships for anthropometric and mortality outcomes, compared to single time-point measure of PA. METHODS Data were the Danish MONICA (MONIt...
متن کاملObesity-Related Genetic Variants and their Associations with Physical Activity
BACKGROUND Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identified obesity-related genetic variants. Due to the pleiotropic effects of related phenotypes, we tested six of these obesity-related genetic variants for their association with physical activity: fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO)(rs9939609)T>A, potassium channel tetramerization domain containing (KCTD15) (rs11084753)G>A, melan...
متن کاملNovel Risk Factors of Cardiovascular Disease and Their Associations Between Obesity, Physical Activity And Physical Fitness
The prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasing around the globe and is the leading cause of death around the world. Though once thought of as an adult problem, it is now recognised that the early manifestations of disease may occur during childhood. Numerous risk factors have been linked to CVD with much of the research focusing on understanding the prevalence and relationship of ...
متن کاملDEBATE–PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND OBESITY RISK Physical activity does not influence obesity risk: time to clarify the public health message
Over the past 3 decades the obesity epidemic has spread inexorably across societies in all parts of the globe. Unfortunately our understanding of the key factors driving body weight upward – and thereby the public health interventions required to reverse this trend – has advanced much more slowly. Since the 1980s innumerable studies have catalogued the descriptive characteristics of this epidem...
متن کاملPerceived Physical Activity and Mortality
Objective: This research sought to examine the relationship of individuals’ perceptions about their level of physical activity with mortality outcomes at the population level. Method: This study used 3 nationally representative samples with a total sample size of 61,141 U.S. adults (weighted N 476 million). Data from the 1990 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and the 1999–2002/2003–2006 N...
