Background Psoriasis confers risk for cardiometabolic disorders. Cardiorespiratory fitness is inversely associated with risk of cardiometabolic disorders in other populations, but limited data have been published assessing cardiorespiratory fitness among individuals with psoriasis. This investigation aimed to: 1) assess cardiorespiratory fitness among individuals with psoriasis in the general population; and 2) compare ...
Low physical activity (PA) and high levels of sedentary time (ST) are associated with higher cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among older people. However, their independent contribution and importance of duration of PA and ST bouts remain unclear. We investigated associations between objectively measured PA, ST and non-invasive vascular measures, markers ...
Background: Physical activity is recommended as a part of a comprehensive lifestyle approach in the treatment of hypertension, but there is a lack of data about the relationship between different intensities of physical activity and cardiovascular parameters in hypertensive patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association ...
Background: South Asians (Asian Indians and Pakistanis) are the second fastest growing ethnic group in the United States (U.S.) and have an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). This pilot study evaluated a culturally-salient, community-based healthy lifestyle intervention to reduce ASCVD risk among South Asians.
Methods: Through an ...
Background: For optimal health benefits moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) is recommended in sustained bouts lasting > 10 minutes. However, short spurts of MVPA lasting < 10 minutes are more common in everyday life. It is unclear whether short spurts of MVPA further protect against the development of hypertension and obesity ...
Purpose: Examine whether concurrently consuming a healthy diet and regularly being physically active among U.S. youth is more favorably associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) biomarkers than other physical activity and dietary patterns.
Design: Cross-sectional.
Setting: United States (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) 2003–2006.
Subjects: Two thousand six hundred twenty-nine ...
Background: No studies have addressed the "fit but fat" paradigm using accelerometry data.
Aim: The study was to determine if 1) higher levels of accelerometer-determined physical activity are favorably associated with biomarkers in overweight or obese persons (objective 1); and 2) overweight or obese individuals who are sufficiently active have better or similar ...
Background: As cardio-metabolic risk tracks from childhood to adulthood, a better understanding of the relationship between movement behaviors (physical activity, sedentary behavior and sleep) and cardio-metabolic risk in childhood may aid in preventing metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adulthood.
Objective: To examine independent and combined cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between movement ...
Abstract Introduction: Some of the chronic diseases that appear in adulthood are developed in childhood stage. There are few studies investigating the association between physical activity (PA) and cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk markets using objective measurement for apparently healthy adolescents.
Aim: The primary aim of the study was to ...
Introduction: Atherosclerosis begins in youth and is related to the presence of cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors (CMRF): age,
gender, nutrition, physical inactivity, cardiorespiratory fitness (CF), blood pressure (BP), lipids and overweight/obesity. There is strong evidence showing that schools should include nutrition and physical activity (PA) in the curriculum. ...
