Relationship between objectively measured physical activity and cardiovascular aging in the general population – The EVIDENT trial

Self-Selected Walking Speed Is Predictive of Daily Ambulatory Activity in Older Adults

“…ActiLife 6.0 software was used to initialize the devices prior to distribution to participants and to download and process data once the devices were returned. Sampling frequency was set at 30Hz, and data was collected in 60 second epochs (Garcia-Ortiz et al, 2014). Sixty consecutive epochs with no activity counts was classified as non-wear time (Hart, Swartz, Cashin, & Strath, 2011).…”

“…The device must be worn for several days in order to get an accurate reflection of average ambulatory behavior. In previous studies on older adults, activity monitoring has ranged in length from four to eight days, with the majority monitoring for seven days (Boyer, Andriacchi, & Beaupre, 2012; Brach, VanSwearingen, Newman, & Kriska, 2002; Garcia-Ortiz et al, 2014; Lee et al, 2013; Schimpl et al, 2011; Wanner, Martin, Meier, Probst-Hensch, & Kriemler, 2013). The utility of activity monitoring is limited by the time required.…”

Relación entre la actividad física y parámetros hemodinámicos en adultos

“…Es decir, cuanto más tiempo está una persona sentada, mayor es el PAIx. En concordancia con los resultados de este trabajo, García-Ortil et al 21 encontraron correlación negativa del PAIx con la actividad física realizada y con su intensidad. Sin embargo, en este caso, al ajustarlo por edad y sexo se mantenía la asociación solo con la intensidad, lo que podría indicar que la cantidad y la intensidad de la actividad física pueden estar relacionadas de manera diferente con el PAIx, es decir, que el tiempo que dedicamos a realizar actividad física intensa se correlaciona mejor con PAIx75, mientras que la cantidad de actividad es menos relevante.…”

Glycemic index, glycemic load, and pulse wave reflection in adults

“…The main results were published recently [17,18]. The purpose of the EVIDENT study was to analyze the relationship between lifestyle and arterial aging in a cohort of healthy patients.…”
