Summary: This study conducted a systematic review to analyze the impact of air pollution on the health of older adults during physical activity and sedentary behavior. The results showed that air pollution, especially PM2.5 pollutants, have negative effects on the health of older adults. However, physical activity can mitigate the negative effects of air pollutants on the health of older adults.

Summary: This study characterized the measurement of physical activity and sedentary behavior in national health surveys in South American countries and found differences in instruments used and modifications, which limit data comparability. Therefore, the importance of standardizing assessment in national surveys within South America is emphasized.

Summary: High levels of sedentary time and physical inactivity independently contribute to the development of noncommunicable diseases and premature mortality. Globally, engaging in at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week is recognized to confer significant health benefits. Emphasizing the benefits of moving more and sitting less may be more effective than setting lofty physical activity goals for inactive individuals.

Summary: A study on Brazilian adolescents found that both physical activity and sedentary behavior were independently associated with self-rated health. Boys who engaged in at least 300 min/week of physical activity and had less than 4 hours of sitting time were more likely to report good self-rated health, while girls only showed a positive association with lower sitting time.

Summary: The study identified distinct trajectories of sedentary behavior (SB) and explored the association between cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and trajectories of physical activity (PA). Using a group-based trajectory model, the researchers found different trajectory groups for SB and PA. After a 10-year follow-up, it was observed that having SB group 4 accompanied by PA group 1 reduced the risk of CVD by 50%.

Summary: The study revealed that leisure sedentary time of 8+ hours per day is associated with an increased risk of stroke, especially among individuals under 60 years of age with low physical activity levels. This highlights the importance of promoting physical activity and reducing sedentary behavior in younger individuals.

Summary: This study introduces an Energy Consumption Estimation Scale based on Item Response Theory (IRT) to assess energy intake among 18-19-year-old adolescents. The scale is validated in a Brazilian study and demonstrates reliable measurement of energy intake. Adolescents with higher energy intake exhibit consistent patterns in their dietary behavior.

Summary: Physical inactivity and insomnia symptoms are independently associated with increased risk of poor mental health. This study examines the joint association of physical activity and insomnia symptoms with the onset of poor mental health in adults. The findings suggest that any level of physical activity combined with insomnia symptoms is associated with increased odds of poor mental health.

Summary: This study examined the associations between passive (television) and active (electronic games, computer use) screen time and perceived school performance in adolescents. The results showed that spending more than 2 hours per day on screen activities had a progressively negative impact on school performance for both boys and girls. Watching television and playing electronic games for more than 4 hours per day were associated with lower odds of high school performance, with girls being more affected.

Summary: This study summarizes the current status and trends of physical activity participation among children and adolescents in 18 Asian countries and identifies existing problems. The findings show that physical activity levels among children and adolescents in the Asian region are low, but there is a growing enthusiasm and support for global physical activity promotion efforts. Therefore, promoting a physically active lifestyle among children and adolescents should be a collective interest and priority in the Asian region.

Summary: This study aimed to systematically review and synthesize the available prevalence data of major chronic diseases in international immigrants. The results showed that the prevalence of diabetes was higher than other chronic diseases in international immigrants, and there was significant heterogeneity among the studies. Therefore, there is a strong need to enhance health information systems in order to understand the magnitude of chronic diseases among different immigrant subgroups.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the associations between mastery and physical activity with psychological distress in mid-aged adults. The results showed that only mastery was significantly associated with psychological distress, while there was no significant interaction between mastery and physical activity. Therefore, enhancing mastery may be an important method to alleviate psychological distress in mid-aged adults.

Summary: Good vaccine safety and reliability are crucial for countering infectious diseases effectively. This study aims to reduce adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines by identifying common factors through patient data analysis and classification. Patient medical histories and postvaccination effects were examined, and statistical and machine learning approaches were used. The analysis revealed that prior illnesses, hospital admissions, and SARS-CoV-2 reinfection were significantly associated with poor patient reactions.
