Sex as a moderator of the association between cardiorespiratory fitness and depressive symptoms in older adults
NCT02875301
What hepatology clinicians and their patients with alcohol‐related liver disease think of wearable alcohol biosensors to aid abstinence from alcohol
Cardiorespiratory fitness levels and body mass index of pre-adolescent children and older adults during the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction The social and behavioral effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have impacted the health and physiology of most people, including those never diagnosed with COVID-19. While the impact of the pandemic has been felt across the lifespan, its effects on cardiorespiratory fitness (commonly considered a reflection of total body health) of older adults and children may be particularly profound due to social distancing and stay-at-home advisories…
Challenges and Solutions for Monitoring Alcohol Use in Patients With Alcohol-Related Liver Disease
OBJECTIVES: Early alcohol use identification can prevent morbidity/mortality for alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). Innovative wearable alcohol biosensors (biosensors) that identify alcohol use through perspiration are an emerging technology with potential application for patients with ALD. Our primary aim was to determine biosensor acceptability and feasibility for patients with ALD. We describe participant acceptance and challenges using b…
Race and sex differences in dropout from the STRRIDE trials
Purpose To determine if race and sex differences exist in determinants and timing of dropout among individuals enrolled in an exercise and/or caloric restriction intervention. Methods A total of 947 adults with dyslipidemia (STRRIDE I, STRRIDE AT/RT) or prediabetes (STRRIDE-PD) were randomized to either inactive control or to 1 of 10 exercise interventions, ranging from doses of 8–23 kcal/kg/week, intensities of 50%–75% V ̇ O 2 peak, and duration…
The Relationship Between Objectively Measured Step Count, Clinical Characteristics, and Quality of Life Among Depressed Patients Recently Hospitalized With Systolic Heart Failure
OBJECTIVE: Physical activity (PA) can improve symptoms of both depression and heart failure (HF), but objective activity data among recently hospitalized HF patients with comorbid depression are lacking. We examined PA and the relationship between daily step counts and mood, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and heart health among patients enrolled in a clinical trial treating HF and comorbid depression. METHODS: We screened hospitalized pa…
Comparison of Food Cue–Evoked and Resting-State Functional Connectivity in Obesity
OBJECTIVE: Obesity is associated with differences in task-evoked and resting-state functional brain connectivity (FC). However, no studies have compared obesity-related differences in FC evoked by high-calorie food cues from that observed at rest. Such a comparison could improve our understanding of the neural mechanisms of reward valuation and decision making in the context of obesity. METHODS: The sample included 122 adults (78% female; mean ag…
Physical Activity, All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality, and Cardiovascular Disease
Sedentary Behavior and Health
Demographic factors, workplace factors and active transportation use in the USA
BACKGROUND: While active transportation has health, economic and environmental benefits, participation within the USA is low. The purpose of this study is to examine relationships of demographic and workplace factors with health-enhancing active transportation and commuting. METHODS: Participants in the 2009 National Household Travel Survey reported demographics, workplace factors (time/distance to work, flextime availability, option to work from…
Reducing Sedentary Behavior Versus Increasing Moderate-to-Vigorous Intensity Physical Activity in Older Adults
Targeting reduced sedentary behavior had a greater effect on physical function among inactive but high functioning older adults over 12 weeks. Future studies of longer duration and combining increased MVPA with reduced sedentary behavior are needed

AHA/ACC/TOS Guideline for the Management of Overweight and Obesity in Adults
Increased Body Mass Index Is Associated With a Global and Distributed Decrease in White Matter Microstructural Integrity
OBJECTIVE: Obesity and decreased physical health are linked to deficits in several cognitive domains. The broad range of cognitive problems linked to obesity suggests a global mechanism that may interfere with multiple neural systems. We examined how variation in body mass index (BMI) is associated with the microstructural integrity of fiber connections in the human brain. METHODS: White matter structure was measured using diffusion tensor imagin…
Acute effect of walking on energy intake in overweight/obese women
Appropriate Physical Activity Intervention Strategies for Weight Loss and Prevention of Weight Regain for Adults
Overweight and obesity affects more than 66% of the adult population and is associated with a variety of chronic diseases. Weight reduction reduces health risks associated with chronic diseases and is therefore encouraged by major health agencies. Guidelines of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) encourage a 10% reduction in weight, although considerable literature indicates reduction in health risk with 3% to 5% reduction in we…
The Physical Activity and Obesity Link
Overweight and obesity are at epidemic levels among adults in the United States, with the prevalence rates increasing dramatically in children and adolescents.1,2 Physicians and other health care professionals are faced with the need to provide more treatment for an array of obesity-related conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and musculoskeletal stress and strain. Therefore, it is more important than ever for physicians to focus o…
