Summary: This study found no associations between total sedentary time and sedentary accumulation patterns with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in the total sample once moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was considered. However, among individuals younger than 74 years, less total sedentary time and more fragmented sedentary behavior were associated with reduced mortality risk independent of MVPA.

Summary: The use of objective measures of physical activity, such as accelerometers, pedometers, and doubly labeled water method, shows a strong negative association with all cause mortality. Current physical activity recommendations based on questionnaire data may underestimate the true reduction in mortality risk associated with physical activity.

Summary: This study examined the associations between physical activity, sedentary time, and lipoprotein metabolism in schoolchildren. The results showed that moderate and vigorous physical activity were associated with a favorable lipoprotein particle profile, while sedentary time was associated with an unfavorable lipoprotein particle profile. The impact of light-intensity physical activity on lipoprotein metabolism was limited.

Summary: This study examined the association between accelerometer-derived patterns of routine daily physical activity and frailty, and found that higher amounts and intensity of daily activity, as well as lower activity fragmentation, were associated with lower odds of frailty.

Summary: This cross-sectional study examined the associations of objectively-measured physical activity and sedentary behavior patterns with fear of falling in Chinese community-dwelling older women. The study found that total physical activity time, sporadic physical activity time, and daily steps were independently associated with fear of falling.

Summary: This study assessed the independent associations of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in older community-dwelling adults. The results showed that NAFLD is associated with increased risk of all-cause, cardiac, and cancer mortality. The study highlights the importance of NAFLD and calls for measures to reduce the burden of NAFLD and associated mortality.

Summary: This study examined the associations of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behavior (SED) with pregnancy-specific health-related quality of life (QoL) across pregnancy trimesters. The results showed that increasing physical activity and reducing sedentary behavior can improve QoL during pregnancy.

Summary: Accumulating sedentary behavior for longer durations is associated with higher rates of incident cancer and all-cause mortality, but not with cardiovascular disease. The findings suggest considering reducing sedentary behavior as an adjunct target for promoting less sitting and more movement.

Summary: The study examined the association between hourly air pollution and physical activity/sedentary behavior among college students in Beijing, revealing that air pollution may discourage physical activity and increase sedentary behavior, with varying impact at specific times. The findings suggest that air pollution has a negative impact on physical activity, especially during peak pollution hours, and leads to increased sedentary behavior among freshman students in Beijing.

Summary: Increasing accelerometer-determined moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) time is consistently associated with a decreased likelihood of sarcopenia and its components, while sedentary behavior does not have a significant impact on it. Additionally, there seems to be no direct association between the number of activity bouts and the risk of sarcopenia or falls.

Summary: The efficacy of a 4-week balance exercise intervention on postural sway in older adults was found to be insignificant, with no significant differences detected between groups in postural sway outcomes. Hand grip strength showed significant improvement in the intervention group, while Timed Up & Go improvements were comparable between groups but only statistically significant in the control group.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare the 30-day mortality in LTCF residents with and without COVID-19, and investigate the impact of various risk factors on mortality in COVID-19 cases. The study found a significantly higher mortality rate in COVID-19 cases compared to controls, with factors like older age, male sex, and neuropsychological conditions contributing to higher mortality rates in COVID-19 patients.

Summary: The increased use of sensor technology is crucial for remote rehabilitation, but human factors must be fully considered. The SENDoc project in Northern Europe evaluates human factors associated with sensors for remote rehabilitation. The main considerations for adopting balance assessment technology in remote rehabilitation settings are deployment constraints, usability, comfort, and accuracy.

Summary: As global demographics shift, aging becomes a significant focus, with the application of proper prognostic indices in clinical decisions on mortality prediction becoming increasingly important. Machine learning can transform prognostic modeling, as shown in the development of machine learning models for all-cause mortality prediction in healthy older adults. Random undersampling with random forest proved to have the best results, although probability calibration slightly reduced average performance but increased model robustness.

Summary: The study examined the effectiveness of a web-based training program on the health of individuals with intellectual disability (ID). The results showed that participants experienced a decrease in fat mass and waist circumference, as well as an increase in physical activity level. The web-based training program received high satisfaction ratings, and there were no differences in quality of life among the participants.

Summary: This study examined the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination in adolescents and identified risk factors for COVID-19 hospitalisation. The results showed that COVID-19 vaccination did not increase the risk of hospitalisation in adolescents, and receiving 2 doses of the vaccine was associated with a lower risk of COVID-19 hospitalisation, particularly in high-risk groups. However, the risk of severe COVID-19 in the general adolescent population was extremely low, indicating that additional vaccine doses may not be necessary at this stage of the pandemic.
