Summary: This prospective study aimed to examine the association between physical frailty and cancer incidence and mortality risk. The study found that compared with non-frailty, pre-frailty and frailty were associated with increased incidence and mortality risk of overall cancer and certain site-specific cancers (including liver and lung) in a dose-dependent manner, with significant differences between sexes. The study also observed a synergistic association between frailty phenotypes and smoking with overall cancer incidence and mortality risk.

Summary: This study found that an obesity-related dietary pattern is strongly associated with overall and multiple cancer sites. A higher score in the obesity-related dietary pattern is linearly associated with an increased risk of overall cancer and is also linked to specific cancers. These findings provide clues for future research directions.

Summary: This large cross-sectional study from Norway aimed to explore the association between hearing loss severity, hearing aid use, and subjective memory complaints. The results showed that hearing loss was associated with long-term subjective memory complaints but not with short-term subjective memory complaints.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the association between different patterns of physical activity over 36 years and all-cause and cause-specific mortality. It also investigated if this association varied by gender and body mass levels, and how changes in physical activity were related to mortality for individuals who were initially physically inactive. The results showed that engaging in at least 60 minutes of physical activity per week was associated with a significant reduction in mortality, emphasizing the importance of promoting all levels of physical activity in public health campaigns.

Summary: This study found that in healthy young men, there is an association between cardiorespiratory fitness and the incidence of specific site cancers. Higher cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with a lower risk of cancers in the head and neck, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, colon, rectum, kidney, and lung. However, higher cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with a higher risk of prostate cancer and malignant skin cancer.

Summary: There may be genetic factors underlying the associations between higher levels of physical activity (PA) and better aerobic fitness as well as a lower risk for cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs). The study found that genotypes predisposing to higher PA were associated with greater self-reported PA, healthier cardiometabolic profile, and lower incidence of hypertensive diseases, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

Summary: Participation in cultural activities, particularly creative ones like music, singing, and theatre, is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease- and cancer-related mortality. Women who participate in associations/club meetings have a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease mortality. Overall, engaging in creative activities is associated with decreased risk of cardiovascular disease mortality.

Summary: Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a biomarker of chronic inflammation and a prognostic factor for many cancers. This study found that high SII levels were associated with increased total and CVD mortality in the general populations, and physical activity had a beneficial effect on these associations.

Summary: This study found associations between total bone-specific physical activity score and arterial stiffness and body composition in young adults, showing some gender differences in the negative relationships. Further research on the impact of bone-loading physical activity on cardiometabolic outcomes is important.

Summary: Research shows that the prevalence of physical inactivity and high sitting time has increased by over 40% in the past 12 years. Men, younger adults, those living in urban areas, and individuals with higher socioeconomic status and education levels are more likely to exhibit these behaviors.

Summary: A study found that exposure to extreme hot and cold temperatures is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease mortality. The study used data from 567 cities in 27 countries and found a positive correlation between high and low temperatures and mortality from various cardiovascular diseases. The highest risks were observed for heart attacks and stroke during exposure to extreme temperatures.

Summary: This study examines the overall changes in mental health among adolescents and adults in a Norwegian population over the past three decades. The results show a sharp increase in mental distress among adolescents and young adults, while depressive symptoms declined among adults aged 60 and over. The findings suggest that these changes may be related to shifts in young people's living conditions and behavior.

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 examined physical activity patterns over 34 years in a representative adult population in Norway. The results showed a significant increase in the proportion of adults engaging in 1 hour or more of physical activity per week during the study period. Relatively stable patterns of physical activity were identified, with some variations according to age, gender, and BMI.

Summary: This study found that engagement in creative or combined receptive and creative cultural activities was associated with lower numbers of GP consultations among men. This suggests that promoting a culturally engaged lifestyle, especially in men, may impact their use of primary healthcare. However, the study design does not provide evidence of a causal relationship between cultural engagement and GP consultations.
