Journal ArticleDOI

Physical inactivity and chronic kidney disease in Australian adults: the AusDiab study

TL;DR: Physical inactivity is cross-sectionally associated with albuminuria prevalence, particularly when combined with obesity, while baseline physical activity status was not significantly associated with longitudinal outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Associations of sedentary behavior in leisure and occupational contexts with symptoms of depression and anxiety

TL;DR: Adults who spend ≥50% of their leisure-time in sedentary pursuits experience more frequent symptoms of depression and anxiety, compared to those who are less sedentary in that context, but it remained statistically significant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Associations of Monitor-Assessed Activity with Performance-Based Physical Function

TL;DR: Light- to moderate activity (stepping) was positively associated with muscle strength, and gait/mobility in older adults aged ≥65 years, and the direction of causation is not known and remains important to investigate considering the high prevalence of both poor function and limited activity in older age.
Journal ArticleDOI

A randomised, controlled study of the effects of aerobic exercise and dietary fish on coagulation and fibrinolytic factors in type 2 diabetics.

TL;DR: In view of recent epidemiological findings, the reduction in tPA antigen with both fish and moderate exercise in these dyslipidaemic type 2 diabetic patients could reflect a reduced thrombotic potential and decreased cardiovascular risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Validity and reliability of subjective methods to assess sedentary behaviour in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: Logs and diaries are recommended to validly and reliably assess self-reported SB, however, due to time and resources constraints, 1-item questionnaires may be preferred to subjectively assess SB in large-scale observations when showing similar validity and reliability compared to longer questionnaires.
