CONTEXT: Physical activity (PA) plays an important role in obesity. A new accelerometer has been developed to assess total energy expenditure as well as PA. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of PA with overweight and obesity in Japanese men and women, a large crosssectional study was performed using a single-axis accelerometer. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Population-based cross-sectional study of Japanese 18-84 y of age. Height, body weight and PA were measured in 400 male and 388 female Japanese volunteers from 1999 to 2000. The outcome measurements were overweight and obesity, which are defined as a body mass index Z25 kg/m 2 . PA was measured for 1 to 4 weeks and was then categorized into three activity levels, which were defined as light, moderate and vigorous PA. RESULTS: Prevalence of overweight and obesity was 22.3%. Number of steps and time spent in moderate and vigorous PA per day were lower in overweight and obese individuals. No difference was found in time spent in light PA. Individuals who are in the 4th and 5th quintile of moderate and vigorous PA showed a significantly lower body mass index. When odd ratios (ORs) of overweight and obesity estimated by logistic regression were used as effect measures, overweight and obesity were negatively associated with vigorous PA (ORs ¼ 0.91). CONCLUSION: These results indicate that overweight and obese individuals have a lower step rate and are spending less time for moderate to vigorous PA. Participation in vigorous PA is an important predictor of overweight and obesity.

“…There were non-significant but modest differences in lipid levels at baseline, however, as the subjects were randomized by the envelope method. In a trial of menopausal women by Sugiura and co-workers, 24-month exercise training significantly increased HDL-cholesterol and significantly decreased total cholesterol and the total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio 65) . The average number of daily steps increased significantly in the exercise group after moderate exercise commenced, but remained unchanged in the control group.…”

“…A search for Japanese and English-language articles on RCTs investigating the effects of aerobic exercise, exercise training, exercise-based lifestyle intervention, and/or cardiac rehabilitation on lipid levels and on CVD outcomes turned up only 10 RCTs on Japanese subjects [57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66] . Three of these RCTs were excluded, however, as their lifestyle intervention programs [57][58][59] were based on multiple interventions rather than exercise.…”

According to many prospective cohort studies and meta-analyses of those studies, physical inactivity and/or low levels of physical fitness are associated with an elevated risk for the development of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease (CAD), and stroke, and with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and all-cause mortality. Most of these analyses, however, were conducted on non-Japanese populations in the West. This report summarizes prospective observational and clinical studies in Japan. The annual national nutrition survey has shown a gradual decline in the number of walking steps in both genders and in all age groups over the last 10 years. While exercise habits have been gradually increasing in the elderly, only one-fifth of young and middle-aged people undertake leisure-time physical activity. Prospective cohort studies have shown that increased physical fitness and greater physical activity in either daily life or leisure time are of benefit in preventing all-cause mortality and CVD mortality. The daily number of walking steps is positively associated with HDL cholesterol levels and negatively associated with triglyceride levels. According to a random-effects model meta-analysis of 4 randomized controlled trials comparing supervised aerobic exercise training with non-exercise control in subjects without CAD, exercise resulted in a significant increase in HDL-cholesterol (10.01 mg/dL, 95% CI 5.38 to 14.65, p 0.0001). While this confirms the importance of physical activity in preventing CVD mortality and all-cause mortality, the levels of physical activity are on a declining trend in Japan, particularly among the young.

“…A higher number of daily steps was associated with both improved high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and a significantly lower total cholesterol-to-HDL cholesterol ratio. 18 A recent study demonstrated that pedometer use was associated with a significant increase in PA and subsequent decreases in both body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure.…”

Background: Strong evidence supports positive correlation of physical activity with health benefits. Current recommendations by the American Heart Association are a minimum 30 minutes of moderate physical activity 5 days per week. This goal has been equilibrated with 10,000 steps per day. Hypothesis: Work-related physical activity of cardiovascular (CV) specialists does not meet the currently recommended daily physical activity. Methods: Eight cardiothoracic (CT) surgeons, 7 general cardiologists, 5 procedural cardiologists, and 8 cardiac anesthesiologists (N = 28) participated in the study. Demographic information on each participant was recorded including age, resting heart rate, body mass index, and medical and social history. Subjects were asked to wear a spring-levered pedometer on their hip for 2 weeks while at work and to record the total number of steps as well as number of hours worked each day. Results: The average daily steps walked during work were 6540, 6039, 5910, and 5553 for general cardiologists, CT surgeons, procedural cardiologists, and cardiac anesthesiologists, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in the average number of steps taken per day among the groups. CT surgeons worked 12.4 hours per day compared to 9.3 hours by the cardiac anesthesiologists (P = 0.03). Conclusions: In this small, single-center study, work-related physical activity of CV specialists did not meet the recommended guidelines. Obtaining the recommended activity level might be a challenge, given their busy work schedule. Therefore, CV specialists must engage in additional, out-of-hours exercise to achieve the recommended daily exercise.
