Summary: This study examined the associations between physical activity, obesity, and sarcopenia in middle-aged and older adults. The results showed that the associations varied considerably across gender and age groups. Higher frequency of exercise was associated with lower likelihood of obesity, sarcopenia, and sarcopenia obesity in all groups.

Summary: This review evaluated weight gain prevention trials in adults aged 18-50 and found that interventions can prevent weight gain in non-obese adults, with prescriptive interventions showing greater effectiveness. The impact was greatest in healthy weight and overweight populations compared to obese individuals. Future research is needed to assess cost-effectiveness and implementation feasibility.

Summary: This study aims to identify the factors that act as barriers and facilitators to physical activity (PA) and to explore the consideration of PA variables in the design of PA technologies. The study found that current digital applications for PA often overlook important variables and may have limited efficacy if they fail to address these factors.

Summary: The study found that spontaneous physical activity (SPA) in humans living in a desert climate showed a winter peak and summer nadir in a respiratory chamber. These findings suggest that seasonal factors may affect the physiological propensity for movement.

Summary: This cross-sectional study found that individuals who underwent bariatric surgery had improved physical activity and eating behaviors compared to those eligible for surgery, but the improvements were still suboptimal. Efforts are needed to incorporate physical activity and a healthy diet into postbariatric care.

Summary: In this study, it was found that higher levels of physical activity were associated with improvements in cardiometabolic variables, although baseline physical activity did not predict more weight loss during the low-calorie diet. The analysis suggests that self-imposed higher levels of physical activity may improve cardiometabolic risk profiles during weight loss and aid in maintaining weight loss.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of physical activity during pregnancy on neonatal health outcomes. The results showed that adherence to physical activity recommendations had no significant association with neonatal outcomes at birth, and there were no significant associations with sociodemographic and lifestyle variables. There is a need to explore attitudes related to negative physical activity behavior in order to reduce the incidence of sedentary lifestyle-related comorbidities during pregnancy.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of the postpartum phase of the INTER-ACT randomized controlled trial on food intake, eating behavior, physical activity, and sedentary time. The intervention led to improvements in nutrition-related outcomes, but these improvements were not sustained at follow-up.

Summary: This study aimed to describe the relationship between activity level and cardiovascular risk measures, as well as the general activity patterns of adults with cerebral palsy. The study found that adults with GMFCS levels I or II who engaged in more activity tended to have more favorable anthropometric profiles, while those with GMFCS levels III, IV, or V did not show a similar trend.

Summary: The study found that obesity rates increased in both cohorts of young women over 4 years, and there was a strong association between obesity and urinary incontinence. However, the effects of physical activity on urinary incontinence varied between the two cohorts.

Summary: The study found a decline in objective fidgeting, but this decline was partially offset by an increase in the energy cost of the activity and a rise in overall energy expenditure. The results support public health efforts to promote small but sustained changes in these behaviors.

Summary: This study examines the individual, social, and environmental variables and their interactions in relation to physical activity in middle-aged and older adults in Taiwan. The findings suggest that self-efficacy and individual health are important factors influencing physical activity. The interaction between self-efficacy and the neighbourhood environment is also significant in middle-aged adults.

Summary: The study found that there is a significant association between physical activity and the onset of risk factors related to metabolic syndrome in middle-aged adults. Engaging in physical activity, including outdoor sports, can reduce the risk of developing elevated waist circumference, elevated triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, elevated blood pressure, and elevated blood glucose.

Summary: The study revealed that substitution of sedentary time with MVPA is significantly associated with reduced serum SPARC levels in middle-aged men, but not in women. Additionally, a potential interaction between LPA and the BMI on SPARC levels was also found in women.

Summary: This study examined the psychosocial determinants of self-reported compliance with surgical site infection prevention measures among orthopedic physicians in Germany. The findings suggest a positive correlation between capabilities and planning skills with self-reported compliance, providing initial evidence for the importance of these factors in promoting adherence to preventive measures in orthopedic surgery. Further analysis of the WACH-trial will help clarify the role of capabilities and planning in enhancing compliance with preventive measures.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the association between iron biomarkers and menopausal status and assess whether these biomarkers can help differentiate menopausal status beyond age. The results showed that iron biomarkers were significantly associated with menopausal status in both cohorts and modestly improved a model with age alone for differentiating menopause status.

Summary: This study used a cohort of community-dwelling adults to establish the 10-year incidence and predictors of dizziness/vertigo, and its impacts on health-related quality of life. The results showed that age and presence of migraine were significant predictors of incident dizziness/vertigo, and dizziness/vertigo was associated with a significant decrease in quality of life.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the clinical course and outcomes of Covid-19 between premenopausal and postmenopausal women, and investigate the factors that influence disease severity. The results showed that premenopausal women had a more favorable prognosis, and age, postmenopausal status, and serum levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate were important predictors of the severity of Covid-19 in women.

Summary: Premature ovarian insufficiency and ovarian aging are complex conditions that affect women's reproductive health and overall well-being. This review explores the influence of environmental factors, including endocrine-disrupting chemicals and lifestyle choices, on the development and progression of these conditions. Understanding the impact of environmental factors is important for public and clinical health contexts.
