Background:“Weekend warrior” and regularly active physical activity patterns have been associated with reduced mortality risk in the general population. The association in patients with diabetes is unknown.Objective:To examine the associations of different physical activity patterns, particularly weekend warrior and regularly active behavior, with all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality among adults with diabetes.Design:Prospective cohort study.Setting:National Health… Continue reading Association of #Weekend #Warrior and Other Physical #Activity Patterns With #Mortality Among Adults With #Diabetes: A Cohort Study

Effects of various #exercise interventions in #insomnia patients: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
Objectives To compare the effectiveness of different exercise interventions in improving sleep quality and alleviating insomnia severity among patients with insomnia.Design Our study design was a systematic review and network meta-analysis.Eligibility criteria Our study eligibility criteria was restricted to include randomised controlled trials (RCTs) involving adults with insomnia that evaluated exercise-based interventions.Data sources PubMed, Cochrane… Continue reading Effects of various #exercise interventions in #insomnia patients: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
Active #Travel Mode and Incident #Dementia and #Brain Structure
Importance Active travel modes, such as walking and cycling, are feasible and readily embraced forms of physical activity, but their association with dementia risk and brain structure remains unclear.Objectives To investigate the long-term association between travel modes and dementia risk and brain structural metrics and to evaluate whether genetic predisposition could modify the association between… Continue reading Active #Travel Mode and Incident #Dementia and #Brain Structure
Volume and Intensity of #Walking and Risk of Chronic Low #Back #Pain
Importance Chronic low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent and costly condition, and regular physical activity may reduce its risk. Walking is a common and accessible form of physical activity, but its association with the risk of chronic LBP is unclear.Objective To examine whether accelerometer-derived daily walking volume and walking intensity are associated with the… Continue reading Volume and Intensity of #Walking and Risk of Chronic Low #Back #Pain
Structured #Exercise after Adjuvant Chemotherapy for #Colon #Cancer
Preclinical and observational studies suggest that exercise may improve cancer outcomes. However, definitive level 1 evidence is lacking.MethodsIn this phase 3, randomized trial conducted at 55 centers, we assigned patients with resected colon cancer who had completed adjuvant chemotherapy to participate in a structured exercise program (exercise group) or to receive health-education materials alone (health-education… Continue reading Structured #Exercise after Adjuvant Chemotherapy for #Colon #Cancer
#Sedentary Behavior and #Cardiac Events and Mortality After Hospitalization for Acute #Coronary Syndrome Symptoms: A Prospective Study
Patients hospitalized with symptoms of acute coronary syndrome remain at high risk for adverse events postdischarge, highlighting a need for modifiable therapeutic targets. The role of sedentary behavior in this risk and the potential benefits of replacing sedentary time with other activities remain unclear. This study examined the association between sedentary behavior and 1-year cardiac… Continue reading #Sedentary Behavior and #Cardiac Events and Mortality After Hospitalization for Acute #Coronary Syndrome Symptoms: A Prospective Study
The overlooked trio: #sleep duration, sampling time and #physical exercise alter levels of olink-assessed blood biomarkers of cardiovascular risk
Biomarker profiling from biofluids such as blood are widely measured in clinical research, using for example Olink proteomics panels. One such research focus area is cardiovascular disease (CVD), for which chronic sleep restriction (SR) is a risk factor. However, it remains unclear whether blood levels of commonly measured CVD biomarkers are sensitive to acute dynamic… Continue reading The overlooked trio: #sleep duration, sampling time and #physical exercise alter levels of olink-assessed blood biomarkers of cardiovascular risk
Rest #Activity Rhythms and their Association with #Cardiorespiratory Fitness and #Walking Energetics in #Older Adults: Study of Muscle, #Mobility and #Aging
Purpose It is recognized that disruptions in circadian behavior, such as with shift work or jet lag, are associated with diminished health. This known relationship implies that people with stronger indices of circadian behavior will exhibit improved physiology. To address the association between rhythmic activity behavior and physiology we proposed that metrics indicative of ‘more… Continue reading Rest #Activity Rhythms and their Association with #Cardiorespiratory Fitness and #Walking Energetics in #Older Adults: Study of Muscle, #Mobility and #Aging
Increased #sedentary behavior is associated with #neurodegeneration and worse cognition in older adults over a 7-year period despite high levels of physical activity
INTRODUCTIONSedentary behavior may be a modifiable risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). We examined how sedentary behavior relates to longitudinal brain structure and cognitive changes in older adults.METHODSVanderbilt Memory and Aging Project participants (n = 404) completed actigraphy (7 days), neuropsychological assessment, and 3T brain MRI over a 7-year period. Cross-sectional and longitudinal linear regressions… Continue reading Increased #sedentary behavior is associated with #neurodegeneration and worse cognition in older adults over a 7-year period despite high levels of physical activity
