“…BFP is the percentage of fat content in total body weight, which can reflect the degree of obesity in the body. Some studies have found that higher level of PA was related to lower probability of obesity and smaller BFP [32,33] .The team members in our study conducted field surveys of residential areas studied, and there was almost no traffic jam and the no driver exceed the speed limit. However, we found that the number of fast food restaurants, specialty restaurants and snack bars in the survey area was more than other residential areas.…”

Background: The built environment (BE) has been proved to be the factors affecting physical activity(PA) and health level of residents. The aim of this study was to analyze the association of BE with PA and health of Chinese women living in Lianhu District, Xi 'an. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 202 Chinese women aged 15-69 years old. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-long version (IPAQ-L) was used to evaluate PA. BE was measured by the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale - Abbreviated (NEWS-A). General linear regression models were created to assess the relationship among BE, PA and health related variables, including body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BFP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure(DBP). All the models were controlled for age. Results: Transportation PA were negatively associated with residential density( P <0.05). No significant correlation was found between BE and leisure time PA( P >0.05). In the High-PA group, traffic safety was positively correlated with BFP ( P <0.05). In the Moderate-PA group, traffic safety was positively correlated with SP, land use mix access was negative associated with DP ( P <0.05). No significance was found in other aspects ( P >0.05). Conclusion: The results suggest BE is related to the level of PA and health of Chinese women in living in Xi’an. Higher residential density was negatively associated with transportation PA and BMI, while traffic safety is positively correlated with BFP. The associations between BE and health were mixed in different PA groups. Further research is necessary to dig out the exact impact of BE on PA and health in this population.

“…Obesity is characterized by a high BMI value (more than 25 kg/ m2). Previous studies have shown that reducing BMI can significantly reduce the incidence of hypertension and cardiovascular disease (Betz et al, 2018;Zhou et al, 2018;Vrettos et al, 2020). Our study data show the same thing, where BMI has a correlation with systolic blood pressure.…”

Hypertension and diabetes may have implications for damage to other organs such as the kidneys and liver which are evaluated by serum creatinine and ALT, respectively. This study aims to delineate the association between body mass index and hbA1c with renal and hepatic function, respectively. This is a cross-sectional study involving 32 subjects. The research subjects consisted of diabetics and hypertension who were registered in the Muhammadiyah Primary Health Care, Kebanaran, Purwokerto. It was found that in diabetics, there were significant results between serum creatinine and HbA1c values (p <0.01, r = 0.855). Systolic blood pressure was correlated with body mass index (BMI) (p <0.01, r = 0.649). In patients with hypertension, serum creatinine was correlated with the length of time a person has hypertension (p <0.01, r = 0.475). Meanwhile, the ALT value was correlated with body mass index (p <0.05, r = 0.422) and waist circumference (p <0.001, r = 0.528). We found that a decreased HbA1c levels significantly reduces serum creatinine levels so it may also reduce kidney damage. A decrease in the value of BMI and waist circumference significantly reduces ALT enzyme levels which may have the potential for reducing liver damage.

“…Besides the accuracy and choice of methods for PA measurement, the inconsistency in Results may also be due to the initial health status of children in various studies, which may greatly affect the observed associations [16,20]. For instance, factors known to affect blood pressure among children are age, gender, BMI, race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status [38][39][40][41]. Therefore, in the present study, we corrected for age, gender and BMI z-score in the linear regression model.…”

Associations between physical activity, sedentary time and cardiovascular risk factors among Dutch children

et al. 2021

Introduction Physical activity (PA) plays an important role in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, especially in children. Previous studies which investigated the role of PA and sedentary time (ST) in cardiovascular disease used different measurements and found inconsistent results. The current study used recommended standardized measures and provides an overview of PA and ST among Dutch primary school children and their associations with cardiovascular risk factors. Methods 503 children (55% girls, mean age (± SD) 10 ± 1y) were included. PA (total PA, lightPA and moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA)) and ST were measured with the Actigraph GT3X accelerometer. PA in different domains was measured with the BAECKE questionnaire. Cardiovascular risk factors included BMI z-score, waist circumference, blood pressure (z-score) and estimated cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) as measured with the 20 meter shuttle run test. Results Children spent 57 ± 20 min/day (8%) on MVPA and 42% of the children reached the MVPA guideline of 60 min/day. Total PA and MVPA (h/day) were negatively associated with BMI z-score (B = -0.452, p = 0.011) and waist circumference (B = -3.553, p = 0.011) and positively associated with CRF (B = 2.527, p = <0.001). ST was positively associated with BMI z-score (B = 0.108, p = 0.048) and waist circumference (B = 0.920, p = 0.033). No significant associations were found between total PA or PA intensities and blood pressure. Conclusion This study used standardized measures of PA and therefore created an accurate overview of PA, ST and their associations with cardiovascular risk factors. PA and ST were associated with BMI z-score, waist circumference and CRF. The findings emphasize the importance of promoting MVPA in children, but also highlight the potential benefits of reducing ST to improve cardiovascular risk factors. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03440580.

Physical Activity, BMI, and Blood Pressure in US Youth: NHANES 2003–2006

Abstract: This study showed a significant independent and combined association of BMI and physical activity with blood pressure in youth. Interventions need to focus on the reduction of fatness/BMI as a way to reduce the cardiovascular risk in youth.
