“…Among the participants of this study, MM was associated with longer sitting [38]. A long-term study conducted in India demonstrated that the volume of PA was inversely proportional to the prevalence of MM [39]. The same study also showed that the prevalence of MM was lower in individuals who engaged in both moderate and vigorous PA than in those who engaged only in moderate PA.…”

Introduction: Multimorbidity (MM) is associated with high mortality, disability, more frequent use of both inpatient and outpatient care, lower quality of life, and increased psychological distress and polypharmacy. As a result, MM has recently been recognized as one of the most difficult challenges faced by the global healthcare system. Consequently, identifying the factors that accompany MM may be key for the improvement of overall health in every population, and for the provision of appropriate medical care to patients. Aim of the research:To assess the prevalence of MM and the associated factors in middle-aged adults. Material and methods:The research material consisted of 12,113 persons aged from 40 to 64 years. The backward stepwise regression method was used to identify factors associated with MM. Sociodemographic data and information about depressive symptoms and lifestyle were analysed. Results: A higher likelihood of MM was observed in older individuals of both genders (p < 0.001) who declared more problems related to mental health (p < 0.001), took painkillers regularly, were former smokers, drank less alcohol, and declared abnormal sleeping time (both too short and too long). In addition, MM was associated with a longer sitting time in men and shorter vigorous physical activity in women. Conclusions: MM is a frequent problem in adults aged between 40 and 64 years, which necessitates the development of a strategy for the prevention and treatment of MM in middle-aged adults. The complexity of factors related to MM indicates a need to ensure that such patients receive coordinated care from multidisciplinary teams. StreszczenieWprowadzenie: Wielochorobowość wiąże się z wysoką śmiertelnością, niepełnosprawnością, częstszym korzystaniem przez chorych z opieki zarówno szpitalnej, jak i ambulatoryjnej, z niższą jakością życia, zwiększonym stresem psychicznym i polipragmazją, dlatego ostatnio została uznana za jedno z największych wyzwań stojących przed globalnym systemem opieki zdrowotnej. Zidentyfikowanie czynników towarzyszących wielochorobowości może mieć kluczowe znaczenie dla poprawy ogólnego stanu zdrowia każdej populacji i zapewnienia właściwej opieki lekarskiej pacjentom. Cel pracy: Ocena występowania wielochorobowości i powiązanych z nią czynników u dorosłych w średnim wieku. Materiał i metody: Materiał badawczy stanowiły dane 12 113 osób w wieku od 40 do 64 lat. W celu wyodrębnienia czynników związanych z wielochorobowością zastosowano metodę regresji krokowej wstecznej. Analizie poddano zmienne socjodemograficzne, a także informacje na temat objawów depresji i stylu życia. Wyniki: Większe prawdopodobieństwo wielochorobowości u obu płci występowało u osób w starszym wieku (p < 0,001), deklarujących większą liczbę problemów związanych ze zdrowiem psychicznym (p < 0,001), przyjmujących regularnie tabletki przeciwbólowe, palących w przeszłości, pijących mniej alkoholu i deklarujących nieprawidłowy czas snu (zarówno zbyt krótki, jak i zbyt długi). Dodatkowo z wielochorobowością u mężczyzn był powiązany ...

The use of social media is increasingly prevalent for many reasons and academic literature suggests that social media helps encourage physical activity. This research investigated how social media content affected the physical activity of students during the COVID-19 lockdown and subsequent COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. This descriptive cross-sectional study took place between February 2021 and May 2021 at three different academic institutions located in various states in India. A self-made questionnaire consisting of 10 close-ended and 3 open-ended questions was designed to assess students’ utilization of social media to gather knowledge of physical activities from different platforms. A web-based survey was used to collect data from 606 students (of whom 361 (59.57%) were male and 243 (40.10%) were female) from different courses and degree levels using criterion-based purposive sampling. Close-ended questions were analyzed using the percentage method and open-ended questions were analyzed with a collaborative data analysis approach which revealed three themes namely interest, self-care and impact. The results of this study indicate that students are taking help from social media to carry out their physical activities. The outcomes of this study will serve as the baseline information which is helpful in developing and validating methods that best capture the diverse needs of teachers and students within the context of online delivery of physical activities.
