“…39 SOL Youth followed the same protocol, but epoch length was set to 15 seconds to capture more intermittent activity patterns. 39 Consistent with other HCHS/SOL reports 40 adherence was defined in adults as accelerometer wear time ≥10 hours/day for ≥3 days and ≤23 hours daily on average. In youth, adherence was defined as wear time ≥8 hours/day for ≥3 days.…”

Objectives We examined associations between youth and caregiver moderate/vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary (SED) time, using accelerometery, in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latino Youth (HCHS/SOL) Youth. Methods Participants were 623 caregivers and 877 youth 8–16 years old, enrolled in 2012–2014. Associations of youth and caregiver MVPA time, SED time, and meeting MVPA recommendations (> 150 min/week, adults; > 420 min/week, youth) were examined in regression models that controlled for sample weights, design effects, and demographic and health covariates. Results Youth whose caregivers met MVPA recommendations were nearly twice as likely to meet these recommendations themselves when compared to youth whose caregivers did not meet MVPA recommendations (OR = 1.9, 95% CI 1.1, 3.3). Youth and caregiver SED time also were significantly related (p < .05). A similar pattern of findings was observed in analyses limited to relationships in which the caregiver was a biological parent of the youth (N = 485 caregivers; N = 795 youth). Conclusions MVPA and SED are correlated within Latino families as observed by statistically significant relationships of youth and caregiver activity. Additional research is needed to understand underlying genetic and environmental factors that explain these findings.

“…We further accounted for by missing or incomplete accelerometer data (Evenson et al, 2014) using inverse probability weighting (Seaman and White 2013) as described previously (Arredondo et al, 2016). Error terms account for the cluster stratified sample using Taylor series linearization methods.…”

Normative changes in cognitive function are expected with increasing age. Research on the relationship between normative cognitive decline and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary behavior (SED) needs further investigation in Hispanic/Latinos adults. We assessed the cross-sectional association between accelerometer assessed MVPA and SED with cognitive function in 7,478 adults aged 45–74 years from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos. At baseline, cognitive tests included two executive function tests (Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), a test of language (Word Fluency), and a test of memory (Spanish English Verbal Learning Test). Multiple regression models were used to examine associations of time spent in MVPA and SED with cognitive function by age groups, adjusted for age, education, sex, acculturation, and field center. Mean time spent in sedentary behaviors was 12.3 hours/day in females and 11.9 hours/day in males (75% and 77% of accelerometer wear time, respectively). Higher SED, but not MVPA, was associated with lower DSST raw scores (β −0.03 with each 10-min increment in SED; P < 0.05), indicating lower performance in executive function in all age groups. No associations were observed for MVPA and SED with tests of language or memory tests. Our findings suggest a distinct association of SED but not MVPA on executive functioning in middle-aged and older Latino adults. Longitudinal studies are needed to more conclusively determine causal links.

“…Our findings add to our current understanding of this relationship by accounting for activity performed during work, transportation, and leisure-time. Given the variation in the prevalence of activity across types of activity in Hispanics/Latinos (i.e., more work-related and less leisure-time physical activity 18-20,32 ), it is important to take into consideration the various types of activities performed outside of leisure-time. By examining multiple types of activity in the activity-obstructive sleep apnea association, it provides further insight into how activity performed throughout the day is related to the likelihood of experiencing obstructive sleep apnea.…”

We examined associations of mild and moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA; apnea-hypopnea index ≥5 and ≥15, respectively) with recommended amounts of moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) or vigorous physical activity (VPA) and by type of activity (i.e., recreational, transportation, and work activity). The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL), a multicenter population-based study, enrolled individuals from 2008 to 2011 from four U.S. metropolitan areas (Bronx, New York; Chicago, Illinois; Miami, Florida; San Diego, California). Participants in this study included 14,206 self-identified Hispanic/Latino ages 18 to 74 years from theHCHS/SOL. Survey logistic regression analysis was used to compute odds ratios [OR] and 95% confidence intervals [CI], adjusting for sociodemographics, smoking status, and body mass index (BMI). Relative to being inactive, performing some MVPA (>0 to <150 minutes/week) or meeting the recommended MVPA (≥150 minutes/week) were associated with lower odds of mild OSA (ORs and 95% CIs 0.70 [0.61-0.82] and 0.76 [0.63-0.91], respectively), as well as moderate to severe OSA (ORs and 95% CIs 0.76 [0.62-0.93] and 0.76 [0.59-0.98], respectively). Associations of VPA with OSA were not significant. Engaging in medium or high levels of transportation activity was associated with lower odds of mild OSA (OR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.74-0.96; OR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.43-0.95, respectively). Performing some recreational MVPA was associated with lower likelihood of mild and moderate to severe OSA (OR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.71-0.93; OR: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.64-0.97, respectively). Health promotion and OSA prevention efforts should encourage individuals to engage in at least some MVPA.
