Device‐measured light‐intensity physical activity and mortality: A meta‐analysis

Abstract

Introduction:The association of light-intensity physical activity (LPA) with mortality is poorly understood. This meta-analysis of cohort studies aimed to examine the dose-response relationships between daily device-measured LPA and mortality in adults aged 18 or older and to explore whether the associations were independent of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Methods: Searches for prospective cohort studies providing effect estimates of daily LPA (exposure) on all-cause mortality (outcome) were systematically undertaken in electronic databases up to April 30, 2019. Subgroup analyses and meta-regression analyses with random-effects models were performed to quantify the dose-response relationships between daily LPA and mortality. Sensitivity analyses were also conducted to assess the stability of the results. Results: A total of 11 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Analyses contained 49 239 individuals (mean age 60.7, SD = 13.6) who were followed up for a mean 6.2 years (2.3-14.2 years), during which 3669 (7.5%) died. In comparison with the reference group (<3 h/d), the pooled HRs (and 95% CIs) of mortality were 0.71 (0.62-0.82), 0.68 (0.59-0.79), 0.56 (0.44-0.71) for groups 3 to <5 h/d, 5 to <7 h/d, and more than 7 hours a day LPA, respectively. Meta-regression models indicated that there was a log-cubic dose-response relationship between daily LPA and mortality in adults and older people, independent of MVPA. Conclusions: Time spent in daily LPA was associated with reduced risks of mortality in adults and older people. These data support the inclusion of LPA in the future physical activity guidelines.

Twenty‐Four Hour Activity and Sleep Profiles for Adults Living with Arthritis: Habits Matter

“…We defined the profile with the highest nonambulatory activity as "high sitters," noting that nonambulatory activities most likely included passive and active sitting activities, with some time potentially spent participating in standing activities (45). We defined the "balanced activity" profile as approaching recommended daily activity and sleep benchmarks for middle-aged to older adults (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24).…”

“…Isso pode ser um indicativo que tenham aumentando a intensidade da AF de leve que vinham realizando para AFMV. Apesar de evidências apresentarem que a AF leve traz benefícios à saúde 24 , a OMS preconiza que AFMV traz proteção às DCNTs 25 . Sendo esse, portanto, um resultado satisfatório para o GI.…”

“…7 Further, recent evidence also suggests the detrimental effects of sedentary behavior (SB) [10][11][12][13] and beneficial effects of light-intensity physical activity (LPA) on health. 5,6,14 For example, a meta-analysis of device-based measurement studies found that replacing SB time with LPA was favorably associated with all-cause mortality risk and cardiometabolic risk markers. 13 Therefore, there is a need to examine physical activity across the intensity spectrum, bouted or unbouted.…”
