“…In adults with SRVI and SRNI, after adjusting for possible confounders, cross-sectional and prospective analyses revealed no significant associations of leisure-time PA with anxiety symptoms. Most randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of adult populations have found that exercise is associated with fewer anxiety symptoms (Herring et al, 2010;Stonerock et al, 2015), whereas mixed results have been shown in observational studies with prospective designs . However, observational studies are less suitable than RCTs to address cause and effect because the temporal relationship between PA and anxiety symptoms is less clear.…”

“…However, observational studies are less suitable than RCTs to address cause and effect because the temporal relationship between PA and anxiety symptoms is less clear. Nevertheless, as stated in a systematic review, there is not enough evidence yet to support a direct effect of PA on anxiety symptoms (Stonerock et al, 2015). 14 …”

Printed by NTNU Grafisk senter i Sammendrag på norskFysisk aktivitet, mental helse og dødelighet hos personer med synsnedsettelse: Resultater fra HUNT-studien Å fremme fysisk aktivitet i befolkningen er ansett som en av de beste strategiene for folkehelsen grunnet dens gunstige effekter på mental helse, samt i forebygging av ikke-smittsomme sykdommer og tidlig død. Allikevel, fordelene av regelmessig fysisk aktivitet kan variere mellom ulike grupper i befolkningen. Personer som lever med synstap opplever oftere problemer med å delta i fysisk aktivitet sammenlignet med personer uten synstap, samt at de har større utfordringer med helse, sosialisering og det å fungere i dagliglivet. Det er per i dag uklart hvilken betydning fysisk aktivitet har på helsen hos personer som lever med synstap.Hensikten med denne doktorgradsavhandlingen var å undersøke betydningen av fysisk aktivitet på fritiden hos personer med og uten selv-rapportert synstap i dens sammenheng med psykiske plager og dødelighet. I alle de tre studiene som er inkludert i denne avhandlingen er det blitt benyttet data fra ungdom og voksendelen av Helseundersøkelsen i Nord Trøndelag (HUNTstudien). I tillegg ble data fra Dødsårsaksregisteret benyttet i en av studiene.Resultatene fra de tre studiene viste at ukentlig fysisk aktivitet, helst i moderat til høy intensitet, reduserte risikoen for depresjonssymptomer og tidlig død hos personer med selv-rapportert synstap, og styrken på sammenhengen var tilnaermet lik eller sterkere hos denne gruppen sammenlignet med personer uten selv-rapportert synsnedsettelse. Sammenhengene varierte mellom alder, kjønn og personlighet hos personer med selv-rapportert synsnedsettelse, noe som tyder på at responsen av fysisk aktivitet kan virke ulikt innad i denne populasjonen. Fysisk aktivitet hadde ingen sammenheng med angstsymptomer.Studiene bidrar til kunnskap om fysisk aktivitet og dens sammenheng med mental helse og dødelighet hos ungdom og voksne som rapporterer å ha nedsatt syn. Funnene tyder på at fysisk aktivitet kan vurderes som et sykdomsforebyggende og helsefremmende tiltak hos denne populasjonen. Allikevel, sammenhengen ser ut til å vaere kompleks og videre forskning er nødvendig.

She has supported me through all the joys and frustrations of the work in connection with this thesis, and has never stopped believing in me. She has not only encouraged me to develop as a researcher and an independent thinker, but has also allowed me to focus on the aspects I consider important in life.I also thank my co-supervisor, Professor Dana Flanders, for his assistance and statistical guidance, as well as for introducing me to the wonderful world of causality. He, too, has made me feel very welcome during my stay in Atlanta. His intelligence, honesty, conscientiousness, friendliness, and humbleness is admirable, and he has become my scientific role model. viIn addition, I w...

“…Pain ailments occurred more rarely and with lower intensity in the patients with well-controlled blood pressure. Physical activity helps to treat depression and anxiety disorders by enhancing classical pharmacotherapy; however there are very few prospective studies discussing the issue [21]. The haDS scale proves a reliable tool to assess anxiety and depression in chronic diseases [22].…”

Background. Medical experts and professional societies commonly recommend regular physical activity to patients with arterial hypertension. However there is little evidence of the influence of physical exercise on treatment-resistant arterial hypertension. Objectives. the aim of the study was to analyze the influence of physical activity, intensified with additional training support, and followed up with SMS reminders regarding pain, anxiety, and depression in patients with resistant hypertension. Material and methods. the study group consisted of 53 patients, including 27 who fulfilled the criteria for resistant hypertension, and a control group of 26 patients with well-controlled blood pressure. initially, 24-hour monitoring of blood pressure, anthropometric measurements, and measurements of body composition by means of electric bioimpedance were conducted after the third and sixth month, and a mobile activity profile was defined by means of accelerometric measurements conducted for subsequent 72 hours. The patients completed the hospital anxiety and Depression Scale (haDS) and the Roland and Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ). The patients were advised to perform regular aerobic physical activity in accordance with the guidelines of the american Heart association. Results. after 6 months, the back pain score as assessed with RMDQ had reduced from 8.2 ± 7.5 to 6 ± 5.9 (p = 0.01) in subjects with treatment-resistant hypertension. Similar results applied to anxiety (score 8.2 ± 4 vs. 9.3 ± 4.4 at baseline; p = 0.02) and depression as measured with haDS (5.3 ± 3 vs. 6.9 ± 3.7 at baseline; p = 0.01). There was a significant positive correlation between the changes in the pain score (RMDQ) and the changes in the 24 h and nighttime systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure, and anxiety. Conclusions. regular physical activity may have a beneficial effect on anxiety, depression, and pain in patients with treatmentresistant hypertension. Key words: depression, pain, anxiety, physical activity, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, resistant arterial hypertension.

“…For example, there is consistent evidence that individuals with greater anxiety tend to be less active [10]. It is plausible to suggest that individuals with high levels of anxiety lose motivation due to the consequences associated with anxiety.…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the potential moderating effects of anxiety symptomology on the association between constructs from the transtheoretical model (TTM) and physical activity (PA). Methods: Data were collected from 200 University students from October 2015 to June 2016. To assess TTM constructs, a validated TTM survey was utilized. PA was assessed via the validated international PA questionnaire. Anxiety was assessed utilizing the 5-item overall anxiety severity and impairment scale questionnaire. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between TTM constructs and PA. Interaction analyses were computed to see if there was an interaction effect of TTM constructs and anxiety on PA. Results: The only TTM construct associated with meeting moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) guidelines was behavioral processes of change (odds ratio = 1.14, 95% confidence interval = 1.07-1.21; P < 0.05). Further, there was no interaction effect of anxiety and any of the TTM constructs on MVPA (all P > 0.05). Conclusion: TTM seems to have some utility of promoting MVPA among University students and does not appear to be a function of anxiety levels.KEY WORDS: Anxiety, behavioral processes of change, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, transtheoretical model Joyner and Loprinzi: Exercise, TTM, and anxiety
