Occupational and leisure time physical inactivity and the risk of type II diabetes and hypertension among Mexican adults: A prospective cohort study

Abstract

There is a lack of longitudinal data linking physical inactivity and chronic diseases among Mexicans. Objective. To examine the relationship between total, leisure and occupational moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and incidence of type II diabetes (T2D) and hypertension in the Mexico City Diabetes Study. Study design and population. A prospective cohort study was conducted from 1989 to 2009 among 2282 men and non-pregnant women residing in six low-income neighborhoods in Mexico City. Main outcome. Incidence of T2D and hypertension. Results. After controlling for confounders, <1 MET/min/week of MVPA during leisure time was associated with higher risk of hypertension (HR 1.29, CI 95% 1.01, 1.66) and T2D (HR 1.31 CI 95% 1.00, 1.74). In addition, accumulating <1 MET/min/week of occupational MVPA was associated with higher risk of hypertension (HR 1.47, CI 95% 1.13, 1.90). Conclusion. The absence of leisure and occupational MVPA was associated with an increased risk of hypertension. However, no associations were found between occupational MVPA and T2D.

Association between physical activity and diabetic complications among Bangladeshi type 2 diabetic patients

“…To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report Bangladeshi populationlevel estimates of the association between a range of diabetes complications and PA. In agreement with the previous epidemiological studies (Hjerkind et al 2017;Jerums and MacIsaac 2015;Lee et al 2018;Medina et al 2018;Nguyen et al 2017;Praidou et al 2017), we found that inactive/low level of PA was statistically highly significant with hypertension, retinopathy and nephropathy of the type 2 diabetic patients. Inactive in PA and/or low levels of PA is independent, modifiable risk factors for the progression of insulin resistance, and poor health outcomes with type 2 diabetes (Booth et al 2012;Van Buren and Tibbs 2014).…”

Analysis of Association of Occupational Physical Activity, Leisure-Time Physical Activity, and Sedentary Lifestyle with Hypertension according to the Adherence with Aerobic Activity in Women Using Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2016-2017 Data

“…Particularly, they showed increased association with hypertension along with increment of sitting hours, which is closely related to the level of occupational physical activity. Previous studies on the effects of occupational physical activity (OPA) on hypertension are inconsistent [19]. OPA has also been shown to lower the risk of hypertension [15]; on the contrary, in the report of increasing risk in black men, it is considered that research on various population groups is necessary in consideration of racial differences, which supports the necessity of this study [20].…”

Serum Fatty Acids Chemical Characterization after Prolonged Exposure to a Vegan Diet

“…It should be notice, that blood lipids can also be influenced by confounding factorsdifferent than diet-that generally distinguish vegans' lifestyle: regular practice of physical activity, management of stress through meditation techniques, support groups that could improve the attachment to a healthier lifestyle, and a reduction of alcohol and tobacco consumption are some examples. [21,22,23] However, these beneficial lifestyle factors are not necessarily widespread, since we did not identify those health-related behaviors among the vegan sample. Variations in vegans' food selection in different populations could also lead to diverse physiological results, [11] due to the different availability of food within regions, as well as cultural adaptations of the vegan diet.…”
