“…They suggested that the IPAQ-SF overestimates the level of physical activity. This idea was also supported by other studies [38,39]. Therefore, the use of other questionnaires or equipment that directly assess daily movement (e.g., accelerometer) [30] could provide more accurate measurements, leading to better conclusions about the effect of physical activity on blood pressure.…”

Aims:This study sought to analyze blood pressure and its association with eating behavior, physical activity, and body mass index in high school students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed with high school students from midwestern Brazil. Blood pressure was measured according to the guidelines outlined by the Brazilian Society of Cardiology. Nutritional status was assessed in accordance with the Brazilian Food and Nutrition Surveillance System (Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar Nutricional, SISVAN), according to the standard reference of the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES II), and the level of physical activity was assessed by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form. The chi-square test and the Mann-Whitney U test were used for characterization of the population and comparisons between genders and normotensive and prehypertensive subjects. Bivariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to verify the relationship between blood pressure, physical activity, and eating behavior. The significance level was set at p<0.05. Results: Prehypertension was detected in 26% of the students and overweight frequency was higher than the national average (38% for girls and 20% for boys). Concerning eating behavior, students' nutritional habits were "very good" in 7%, "regular" in 68%, and "poor" in 24%. In bivariate analyses, systolic blood pressure and blood pressure percentile were positively associated with body mass index. In multivariate analyses, there were positive associations between eating behavior and body mass index with diastolic blood pressure: when body mass index was high and the eating behavior score was low (unhealthy eating habits), diastolic blood pressure was high. No relationship was observed between blood pressure and physical activity. Conclusions:The adolescents assessed in this study showed a high frequency of prehypertension. Body mass index was positively associated with high blood pressure, indicating that a high body mass index is a risk factor for the development of hypertension among adolescents. Therefore, early intervention to control body mass index may be a valuable strategy to prevent overweight, obesity, and hypertension.KEY WORDS: adolescent health; blood pressure; eating behavior; feeding behavior; nutritional status; body mass index; physical activity.

One bout of open skill exercise improves cross-modal perception and immediate memory in healthy older adults who habitually exercise

et al. 2017

One single bout of exercise can be associated with positive effects on cognition, due to physiological changes associated with muscular activity, increased arousal, and training of cognitive skills during exercise. While the positive effects of life-long physical activity on cognitive ageing are well demonstrated, it is not well established whether one bout of exercise is sufficient to register such benefits in older adults. The aim of this study was to test the effect of one bout of exercise on two cognitive processes essential to daily life and known to decline with ageing: audio-visual perception and immediate memory. Fifty-eight older adults took part in a quasi-experimental design study and were divided into three groups based on their habitual activity (open skill exercise (mean age = 69.65, SD = 5.64), closed skill exercise, N = 18, 94% female; sedentary activity-control group, N = 21, 62% female). They were then tested before and after their activity (duration between 60 and 80 minutes). Results showed improvement in sensitivity in audio-visual perception in the open skill group and improvements in one of the measures of immediate memory in both exercise groups, after controlling for baseline differences including global cognition and health. These findings indicate that immediate benefits for cross-modal perception and memory can be obtained after open skill exercise. However, improvements after closed skill exercise may be limited to memory benefits. Perceptual benefits are likely to be associated with arousal, while memory benefits may be due to the training effects provided by task requirements during exercise. The respective role of qualitative and quantitative differences between these activities in terms of immediate cognitive benefits should be further investigated. Importantly, the present results present the first evidence for a modulation of cross-modal perception by exercise, providing a plausible avenue for rehabilitation of cross-modal perception deficits, which are emerging as a significant contributor to functional decline in ageing.

“…As recommended by Choi et al [30], a period of at least 90 minutes of consecutive zeros was defined as non-wear time. A valid day was defined as a day that contained at least 10 hours of accelerometer data and participants with less than five valid days were excluded from further analyses [19,31]. Based on this, 25 participants were excluded.…”

Older adults’ reporting of specific sedentary behaviors: validity and reliability

et al. 2014

BackgroundPrevious questionnaires targeting older adults’ sedentary time have underestimated total sedentary time, possibly by not including all relevant specific sedentary behaviors. The current study aimed to investigate the criterion validity and test-retest reliability of a new questionnaire assessing a comprehensive set of sedentary behaviors. Additionally, we examined whether the criterion validity of the questionnaire differed according to age, gender and educational level.MethodsA sample of home-dwelling Belgian older adults (>64 years, n = 508) completed a newly-developed questionnaire assessing twelve specific sedentary behaviors and wore an accelerometer for seven consecutive days as criterion measure. A subsample (n = 28) completed the questionnaire a second time to examine test-retest reliability. Data collection occurred between September 2010 and October 2012.ResultsCorrelational analyses examining self-reported total sitting time and accelerometer-derived sedentary time yielded a Spearman’s ρ of 0.30. Using the Bland-Altman regression procedure, self-reported total sitting time underestimated accelerometer-derived sedentary time by -82 minutes/day for a participant with an average level of sedentary time (539 minutes/day). Corresponding 95% limits of agreement were wide (-364, 200 minutes/day). Better, but still not ideal, validity findings were observed in the younger, male and tertiary-educated subgroups. Acceptable test-retest reliability (ICC > 0.70) was found for total sitting time, TV viewing, computer use, and driving a car.ConclusionValidity for older adults’ self-reported total sitting time against accelerometer-derived sedentary time was not strong, but comparable to previous studies. However, underestimation of total sedentary time was lower compared to previous studies, possibly explained by the inclusion of additional specific sedentary behaviors. Further research is needed to develop self-report tools and objective criterion measures that accurately measure engagement in (specific) sedentary behavior(s) among different subgroups of the older population.
