Summary: Moderate consumption of coffee and tea is associated with lower risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality. In addition, combining moderate consumption of both coffee and tea further reduces the risk of mortality, especially for cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.

Summary: The study found that higher levels of greenness near residential areas were associated with lower all-cause mortality among patients undergoing multidrug-resistant tuberculosis treatment in areas with lower nighttime light. This association was particularly strong for female patients, younger patients (<60 years old), those living in urban areas, or with high exposure to PM2.5 particles.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between health locus of control (HLC) and mortality rates for all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, and other causes. The study found that external HLC was significantly associated with higher mortality rates for all-cause, CVD, cancer, and other causes, even after adjusting for sociodemographic factors and chronic diseases. However, after considering health-related behaviors, the association remained significant only for cancer mortality. This association was more prominent in men than in women.

Summary: An investigation on Chinese middle-aged and elderly individuals revealed a correlation between elevated serum homocysteine (Hcy) levels and increased risk of mortality from various diseases. Furthermore, specific genetic variations may modify the associations between Hcy and cardiovascular disease (CVD) or coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality.

Summary: This study in Lithuania on prostate cancer screening revealed that before screening, patients who were not screened had higher all-cause mortality risk, while those who were screened had similar all-cause mortality risk to the general population. Additionally, screened patients with localized stage of disease had lower all-cause mortality risk compared to the general population.

Summary: This study evaluated state and territory laws in Australia and found that most jurisdictions do not have objectives in primary legislation to promote physical activity and integrated land use and transport planning. Only two jurisdictions addressed evidence-based standards and few fully met recommendations. Therefore, there is an opportunity to strengthen laws to promote more active environments.

Summary: This study analyzed data from 28 countries and found heterogeneous trends in active school commuting among adolescents. Most countries showed stable patterns, while a few countries had decreasing or increasing trends over time. There were no differences in active school commuting trends between boys and girls in the majority of countries.

Summary: This study found that spending more time on moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) relative to sedentary behavior (SB), sleep, or light-intensity physical activity (LIPA) is associated with a lower risk of depression. Replacing sleep, SB, or LIPA with MVPA time was strongly associated with lower depression risk. Reallocating time between SB, sleep, or LIPA had minimal to no effect on depression risk.

Summary: Exercise targeting balance and strength has been proven to prevent falls in older age. The Successful AGEing yoga trial is the first large randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of yoga on falls in people aged >= 60 years. A realist process evaluation was conducted, revealing that the mind-body connection created by relaxation, breathing, and yoga enhances participant engagement and satisfaction, with mindfulness and embodiment playing important roles.

Summary: This study examined the association between changes in physical activity and diet with obesity development and changes in body fat percentage, body mass index, and waist circumference. The results showed that increasing physical activity combined with improving diet was most effective in reducing the risk of obesity. Improvements in physical activity or diet mutually attenuated the deleterious associations of the other behavior's deterioration.

Summary: This study investigates the association between potential exposure to smoking cessation campaigns evoking different emotions and quitting behaviors among Australian adults. The results suggest that campaigns evoking hope are associated with thinking about quitting and intending to quit, while campaigns evoking sadness are positively associated with quitting salience but negatively associated with quit attempts. Exposure to campaigns evoking multiple negative emotions increases the likelihood of making a quit attempt.

Summary: This study examined the influence of accelerometer placement and other methodological factors on participant recruitment, adherence, and data loss in observational studies of adult physical behaviors. The findings showed that in-person distribution of accelerometers was associated with higher participant consent and adherence rates compared to postal distribution. Wrist-worn accelerometers were more likely to meet minimum wear criteria compared to waist-worn accelerometers.

Summary: This study aims to examine the trends and predictors of loneliness in middle-aged and older Americans over a 20-year period. The findings suggest that loneliness has decreased over time, but certain sociodemographic subgroups are still at a higher risk. Targeted public health interventions are needed to address this issue.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the associations between different types and contexts of stepping behaviors and cardiometabolic risk. The results showed that all stepping behaviors were beneficial to cardiometabolic health, with higher stair steps and peak 30-min walking intensity associated with a steep decline of adiposity biomarkers. Purposeful steps showed more consistent associations with cardiometabolic biomarkers than incidental steps.
