“…Second, our sample only included people from the fifth decade of their life onward. In the light of our results and given that VRFs typically develop earlier in life (Karmali & Lloyd-Jones, 2014;Lloyd-Jones et al, 2010), more research including young and young middle-aged adults is needed to elucidate when precisely the observed associations arise. Third, we operationalized some VRFs by combining self-reported clinical diagnosis with laboratory assessments.…”

Objectives Cumulative burden of vascular risk factors (VRFs) has been linked to an increased risk of depressed mood. However, the role of age in this association is still unclear. Here, we investigated whether VRF burden is associated with levels and changes in depressed mood and whether these associations become stronger or weaker from mid- to later life. Method We used longitudinal data from 5,689 participants (52–89 years) of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. A composite score incorporated the presence of 5 VRFs: hypertension, diabetes, smoking, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia. Second-order latent growth models were used to test whether levels and changes of depressed mood differed as a function of baseline VRF burden, and whether these associations were moderated by age. Results Baseline VRF burden showed a small association with higher levels of depressed mood (estimate = 0.081; 95% CI: 0.024, 0.138, p = .005). This association varied with age, such that it was stronger in midlife compared to later life (estimate = −0.007; 95% CI: −0.013, −0.002, p = .017). There was no evidence that VRF burden was associated with changes in depressed mood. Discussion Our findings suggest that VRF burden in midlife, but less so in later life, predicts individual differences in depressed mood. These findings are consistent with reports on the importance of midlife VRFs and support the idea that promotion of vascular health in this age group or earlier in life may be critical to maintain mental health across adulthood.

Objectives\ud \ud To establish the test–retest reliability of planned physical activity (PPA) and unplanned physical activity (UPA) components of the Brunel Lifestyle Physical Activity Questionnaire (BLPAQ). To provide evidence of the BLPAQ's stability using the proportion of agreement (PoA) method over a 5-week period.\ud \ud Design\ud \ud Test–retest over a 5-week period using three diverse samples of adults.\ud \ud Methods\ud \ud The 277 participants were subdivided into three adult samples: gymnasium users (n = 80), undergraduate students (n = 111), and university staff members (n = 86). They were asked to complete the test–retest measure in their places of exercise, study, or work respectively.\ud Results\ud \ud Correlation coefficients between test–retest administrations were calculated for each participant group and intraclass correlations were calculated for each item. Pearson's product-moment correlations ranged from r = 0.95 to r = 0.96 for the PPA subscale and r = 0.93 to r = 0.98 for the UPA subscale. Intraclass correlations ranged from R = 0.52 to R = 0.99 for PPA and R = 0.87 to R = 0.99 for UPA. Fisher's z tests indicated that the test–retest correlation coefficients for the BLPAQ subscales were, on the whole, significantly stronger than those of older, comparable subscales from lifestyle physical activity questionnaires. The PoA analysis for each item revealed that the test–retest administrations were in high agreement (>95%).\ud Conclusions\ud \ud Overall, the PPA and UPA factors of the BLPAQ demonstrated high reliability and stability. The present study also illustrates the utility of PoA analysis in establishing the stability of physical activity measures

“…The search began with a combination of terms in the following three categories: 1) health behaviors and indicators, 2) technologies, and 3) behavioral theories ( Table 1 ). The health behaviors and relevant indicators were congruent with the key cardiovascular health metrics defined by the AHA in 2010 [5] and included the following: physical activity (PA), weight management, tobacco use, blood glucose, blood pressure and lipids. To gain the broadest understanding of the current state of the science in this field, a comprehensive array of terms was included for technologies, including mobile, social media, wearables, and other Internet-based terms.…”

This review examined the use of health behavior change techniques and theory in technology-enabled interventions targeting risk factors and indicators for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention and treatment. Articles targeting physical activity, weight loss, smoking cessation and management of hypertension, lipids and blood glucose were sourced from PubMed (November 2010-2015) and coded for use of 1) technology, 2) health behavior change techniques (using the CALO-RE taxonomy), and 3) health behavior theories. Of the 984 articles reviewed, 304 were relevant (240=intervention, 64=review). Twenty-two different technologies were used (M=1.45, SD=+/−0.719). The most frequently used behavior change techniques were self-monitoring and feedback on performance (M=5.4, SD=+/−2.9). Half (52%) of the intervention studies named a theory/model - most frequently Social Cognitive Theory, the Trans-theoretical Model, and the Theory of Planned Behavior/Reasoned Action. To optimize technology-enabled interventions targeting CVD risk factors, integrated behavior change theories that incorporate a variety of evidence-based health behavior change techniques are needed.
