Objective: Describe objective and subjective physical activity levels and time spent being sedentary in adults with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders (SZO/SA).
Method: Baseline physical activity and sedentary behaviors were assessed among 46 overweight and obese community-dwelling adults (aged 18-70 years; BMI > 27 kg/m(2)) diagnosed with SZO/SA by DSM-IV-TR, with ...
Aims: Recent literature has posed sedentary behaviour as an independent entity to physical inactivity. This study investigated whether associations between sedentary behaviour and cardio-metabolic biomarkers remain when analyses are adjusted for total physical activity.
Methods: Cross-sectional analyses were undertaken on 4,618 adults from the 2003/04 and 2005/06 U.S. National Health and Nutrition ...
Introduction: The association between habitual sleep patterns and cardiac autonomic modulation (CAM) in adolescents is not fully understood. We investigated such association in the population-based Penn State Child Cohort (PSCC) follow-up examination.
Methods: An actigraph (GT3X) and a sleep diary were used in 421 adolescents for 7 consecutive nights to calculate ...
Introduction: The association between habitual sleep patterns and nutrition intake is not fully understood, especially in adolescents. We investigated the association between habitual sleep duration and its variability with nutrition intake in population-based adolescents of the Penn State Child Cohort (PSCC) follow-up examination.
Methods: An actigraph (GT3X) and a ...
Introduction: Chronic sleep problems in adults have been associated with abdominal obesity and cardiometabolic disorders. However, associations between habitual sleep patterns and central obesity have not been fully understood, especially in adolescents. We investigated the associations between habitual sleep duration and its variability and body fat distribution in population-based adolescents ...
Introduction: Childhood obesity is a consequence of environments that disrupt the balance of energy intake and energy expenditure.
Obesogenic environments consist of social norms and environmental factors that facilitate unhealthy behaviors around diet and physical activity. Nutritional knowledge and physical activity are cornerstones of every obesity treatment. The aims are ...
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: Prevalence of overweight and obesity, highly sedentary behaviors (SB) and a lack of physical activity (PA) among young children and adolescent are a major public concern. They are important risk factors for many chronic diseases such as diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. However evidence has shown that most children and ...
Introduction: Recognizing the need to accurately measure physical activity in elderly individuals and its relation with health parameters, the aim this study was to explore the relationships between objectively and subjectively measured physical activity (PA) and health parameters related to cardiovascular health in both genders.
Materials and Methods: In a ...
Introduction: Studies have shown that more sedentary time is associated with adverse health effects and increased mortality risk. However, during sedentary time the degree of movement of the upper body can differ between individuals and this could be a relevant aspect of sedentary behavior. Whether movement during sedentary time is ...
