Summary: Physical activity is a key factor in successful weight management, but adults with overweight and obesity face barriers, including fear, which are not fully understood. This scoping review identified nine different fears related to barriers to activity in this population, with limited research on fear-related barriers, especially in adults under 45 years of age. Further exploration of these fears may help promote health behavior in this group.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the predictors of low physical activity levels in individuals with chronic pain and determine the accuracy of an artificial neural network algorithm used for analysis. The results show that a history of falls is a predictor of low physical activity levels in community-dwelling older adults with chronic pain. The study emphasizes the importance of fall prevention in improving physical activity levels in this population.

Summary: This study compared the progression from prediabetes mellitus to diabetes mellitus in people with HIV (PWH) and people without HIV (PWOH). The results showed that PWH had a 40% higher risk of developing incident diabetes mellitus compared to PWOH.

Summary: This study assessed the influence of physical function on balance and future falls in older adults with fear of falling (FOF), and whether activity restriction modifies the contribution to falls. The results showed that physical function contributes to balance and falls in older adults with FOF, especially in those restricting activity. This suggests that there are additional factors contributing to balance issues and increased fall risk independent of function.

Summary: The study found that older adults who are moderately to highly physically active tend to consume more fruit and vegetable compared to less active peers, even after correction for total energy intake. Factors such as gender, accuracy of dietary intake reporting, smoking status, education level, alcohol consumption, and body mass index have a positive impact on this relationship. These findings can help healthcare professionals in their efforts to treat and prevent chronic diseases.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between household food insecurity (HFI) and fear of hypoglycemia among young adults and adolescents with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, as well as their parents. The results showed that adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes experiencing HFI had higher fear of hypoglycemia scores compared to those without HFI. Screening for HFI and fear of hypoglycemia can help healthcare providers customize diabetes education for individuals who have HFI and fear hypoglycemia.

Summary: Only one-third of adults in the United States received physical activity recommendations, with those who received them more likely to have functional limitations. Recommendations for physical activity for those with limitations appeared to increase during middle age, peak for adults aged 65-75 years, but declined substantially for adults >= 75 years.

Summary: Leisure-time physical activity was inversely associated with diabetes in both men and women in Korean adults, while transport physical activity was only inversely associated in men. However, work physical activity showed no association with diabetes.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 on physical activity patterns and glycemic control in Qatari adults with type 1 diabetes. It found that the unvaccinated group had higher weight, BMI, and HbA1c levels compared to the vaccinated group, and they also engaged in less moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per week and had less time in vigorous physical activity. Vaccination was significantly associated with higher levels of physical activity.

Summary: This study examined the dietary quality and physical activity levels of 1034 pregnant women in different regions of Finland. The results showed that 53% of the women had poor dietary quality and 45% had low levels of physical activity. However, these lifestyle habits were not significantly impacted by a history of gestational diabetes (GDM), but rather by overweight status.

Summary: The study revealed that stroke survivors had higher sedentary time, lower physical activity levels, and exhibited patterns of accumulating longer sedentary bouts and shorter, lower intensity activity breaks compared to those without a history of stroke.

Summary: The study demonstrates that a curved approach is more suitable than a straight approach for generating center-of-mass height in high jump, without increasing joint kinetic exertions.
