TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the association between TV viewing and leading causes of death in the U.S. and found that TV viewing is the most prevalent sedentary behavior and is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality.

TL;DR: Knowing SoC heuristics can inform public health practitioners and policymakers about the population’s motivation for physical activity, help track changes over time, and assist in the allocation of resources.

TL;DR: These data provide reassurance that a 7-day accelerometer-assessment protocol provides a reproducible (and practical) measure of physical activity and sedentary time, however, ICCs varied by metric; therefore, future prospective studies of chronic diseases might benefit from existing methods to adjust risk estimates for within-person variability in activity to get a better estimate of the true strength of association.

TL;DR: Among women, racial differences exist in both the magnitude and form of the adiponectin-BMI association, and obesity among overweight and obese women compared with healthy weight women but showed no clear decreasing trend with increasing severity of obesity.

TL;DR: Findings support the hypothesis that excess body weight, both in early adulthood and later in life, is a risk factor for multiple myeloma and suggest that maintaining a healthy body weight throughout life may reduce multipleMyeloma risk.
