“…The present findings are consistent with some previous cross-sectional studies that show the beneficial effects of VPA on reducing the incidence of MS, [16][17][18]35,36 but not many studies have examined the effects of different intensities of physical activity, independent of total energy expenditure, in a prospective way. A prospective cohort study, the Copenhagen City Heart Study, confirmed the role of physical activity in reducing MS risk and suggested that the intensity, more than the quantity of physical activity, was important.…”

“…15 Cross-sectional studies have suggested that VPA may provide an important benefit for cardiometabolic disease prevention. [16][17][18][19] There are also some longitudinal studies, but they did not take into account important dietary or lifestyle confounders. 20,21 The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between levels of intensity in LTPA and the long-term risk of developing MS.…”

ObjectiveTo examine the compositional effects of physical behaviour on mental health.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingA population-representative random sample (Mitchelstown cohort) was recruited from a large primary care centre in Mitchelstown, County Cork, Ireland.ParticipantsIn total 3807 potential participants were selected from the practice list. Following exclusion of duplicates, deaths and ineligibles, 3043 were invited to participate and of these, 2047 (49.2% men) completed the questionnaire and physical examination components of the baseline assessment during the study period (April 2010 and May 2011). Accelerometers were introduced into the study in January 2011. Of the 745 participants seen between January and May of 2011, 475 (44.6% men) subjects (response rate 64%) agreed to participate and of these 397 (46.1% men) had valid accelerometer data.Primary and secondary outcome measuresParticipants wore the wrist GENEActiv accelerometer for 7 consecutive days. Data were summarised into 60 s epochs and activity categorised as sedentary behaviour, light or moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Well-being was assessed using the WHO-5 well-being scale.ResultsIn adjusted isotemporal models, a 30 min increase in light activity per day was associated with a significant decrease in levels of anxiety symptoms (B=−0.34; 95% CI −0.64 to −0.04) and a significant increase in levels of well-being (B=0.58; 95% CI 0.05 to 1.11). No statistically significant associations were observed between any physical behaviour and depressive symptoms or when sedentary behaviour was substituted with MVPA (P>0.05).ConclusionAlthough based on a cross-sectional study, the findings suggest that substituting light activity for sedentary behaviour may have positive associations with symptoms of anxiety and reported well-being among middle-aged adults.

Vigorous-Intensity Physical Activity is Associated with Metabolic Syndrome Among the Chinese Middle-Aged Population: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract: Vigorous PA levels were consistently associated with a reduced risk of MS; however, a protective role of moderate PA was not found. The population-attributable risk for vigorous PA was about 11% for all MS risk factors.
