“…11,28,31,41,42 However, data on the relationship between smoking and metabolic risk in the context of menopause status are scarce. Most previous studies have focused on the correlation between smoking cessation and anthropometric outcomes, indicating a rather modest effect of exercise on preventing weight gain after smoking cessation.…”

“…Other authors have also reported a negative association between the intensity of LTPA and metabolic risk in women but without separate analyses for premenopausal and postmenopausal individuals. 28,31 Given the results of our previous report suggesting a significant correlation between commuting PA and MetS, 42 we included this kind of activity in the model. As in the analysis of LTPA, we found that walking or cycling to work substantially reduced the adjusted ORs of MetS in never and past smokers, but the statistically significant relationships were limited only to postmenopausal women.…”

“…Since classic papers of Jerry Morris and colleagues indicating association between occupational physical activity (PA) and risk of coronary heart disease, numerous subsequent epidemiological studies have confirmed that regular exercise may prevent from chronic non-communicable diseases, improve well-being and considerably contribute to an increase in life expectancy [1][2][3][4][5][6]. More importantly, there is an increasing body of evidence that not only leisure-time, but also commuting activity connected with travelling to work or school may substantially modify the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders [7][8][9]. According to the latest analysis based on model IMPACT published by Bandosz et al (2012) over a half of the fall in the mortality due to coronary heart disease in Poland between 1991 and 2005 could be attributed to reductions of major risk factors [10].…”

Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess physical activity (PA) level in a representative sample of Polish adults. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was performed among 2413 randomly selected individuals (51.5% women) aged 18-79 years, who participated in the Nationwide Study of Occurrence of Risk Factors of Cardiovascular Diseases NATPOL 2011 (March-July 2011). The study procedures consisted of a questionnaire as well as of anthropometric, blood pressure and biochemical measurements. Leisure-time, occupational and commuting PA were assessed by the use of a questionnaire interview. Results: About 48.2% of adults do exercise for at least 30 minutes on most days of a week. About 11% of the respondents declare a sedentary lifestyle. About 26.5% of working population report hard physical work, while sedentary work is reported by 47.6% of the employed participants. Active commuting is declared by 27.3% of working/studying population. About 47.2%, 36.6%, and 15.3% spend < 15, 15-30, and > 30 min per day, respectively, on this kind of PA. Conclusions: PA level of more than half of Polish adults is still not satisfactory. Promotion of an active lifestyle should concern mainly leisure-time and commuting PA with paying special attention to substantial differences in various socio-demographic groups.

“…Recently, Flint et al [12] showed in more than 72,000 men and 83,000 women from the UK Biobank that using mainly walking or cycling for commuting, compared to using the car, was associated with lower BMI and percent body fat in both sexes. Several studies focused their analyses according to sex using pooled walking and cycling variables to describe overall active transportation behavior and found a negative association with BMI, percent body fat, or waist circumference for both sexes [31,32,33]. Only Gordon-Larsen et al [13] found dissimilar associations according to sex in 2,364 participants of the CARDIA study, with lower odd ratios to be obese or overweight for participants reporting active commuting only in men.…”

Background: Research on the associations between walking and cycling with obesity-related phenotypes is growing but relies mostly on the use of BMI. The purpose of this study was to analyze associations of walking and cycling behaviors assessed separately with various obesity markers in French adults. Methods: In 12,776 adult participants (71.3% women) of the on-going NutriNet Santé web-cohort, we assessed by self-report past-month walking and cycling (for commuting, errands and leisure), and obesity measures were taken during a visit at a clinical center (weight, height, waist circumference, and percent body fat by bioimpedance). Results: In analyses not taking into account other types of physical activity (household, leisure), walking more than 2.5 h/week was associated in women with lower weight (-1.8 kg), waist circumference (-1.7 cm) and percent body fat (-1.1%) (all p < 0.001). Cycling more than 1.5 h/week was associated in men and women with lower weight (-4.3 and -1.4 kg, respectively), waist circumference (-4.4 and -2.1 cm, respectively), and percent body fat (-2.5 and -1.9 % respectively) (all p < 0.001). Results were unaltered when analyses were further adjusted on household and leisure physical activity. Conclusion: These results show important differences between walking and cycling in their association with obesity markers in men and women. These findings provide some evidence for the need to consider separately walking and cycling when designing public health measures for prevention of obesity in adults.
