Journal ArticleDOI
Joint associations of accelerometer-measured physical activity and sedentary time with all-cause mortality: a harmonised meta-analysis in more than 44 000 middle-aged and older individuals
Ulf Ekelund,Jakob Tarp,Morten W. Fagerland,Jostein Steene Johannessen,Bjørge H. Hansen,Barbara J. Jefferis,Peter H. Whincup,Keith M. Diaz,Steven P. Hooker,Virginia J. Howard,Ariel Chernofsky,Martin G. Larson,Nicole L. Spartano,Ramachandran S. Vasan,Ing-Mari Dohrn,Maria Hagströmer,Charlotte L. Edwardson,Thomas Yates,Eric J. Shiroma,Paddy C. Dempsey,Katrien Wijndaele,Sigmund A. Anderssen,I-Min Lee +22 more
TL;DR: Higher sedentary time is associated with higher mortality in less active individuals when measured by accelerometry, which is lower than previous estimates from self-reported data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is the association between physical activity and body mass index obesity dependent
TL;DR: The association between PA and BMI was weak in non-obese individuals and in contrast, BMI was highly significantly associated with PA in obese individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
PPARGC1A genotype (Gly482Ser) predicts exceptional endurance capacity in European men
Alejandro Lucia,Félix Gómez-Gallego,Inês Barroso,Manuel Rabadán,Fernando Bandrés,Alejandro F. San Juan,José L. Chicharro,Ulf Ekelund,Soren Brage,Conrad P. Earnest,Nicholas J. Wareham,Paul W. Franks +11 more
TL;DR: A role for the Gly482Ser genotype in determining aerobic fitness is indicated, which has relevance from the perspective of physical performance, but it may also be informative for the targeted prevention of diseases associated with low fitness such as Type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A primary care nurse-delivered walking intervention in older adults: PACE (Pedometer Accelerometer Consultation Evaluation)-Lift cluster randomised controlled trial
Tess Harris,Sally Kerry,Christina R. Victor,Ulf Ekelund,Alison Woodcock,Steve Iliffe,Peter H. Whincup,Carole Beighton,Michael Ussher,Elizabeth S Limb,Lee David,Debbie Brewin,Fredrika Adams,Annabelle Rogers,Derek G Cook +14 more
TL;DR: The PACE-Lift trial increased both step-counts and objectively measured MVPA in ≥10-minute bouts in 60–75 year olds at 3 and 12 months, with no effect on adverse events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy and validity of a combined heart rate and motion sensor for the measurement of free-living physical activity energy expenditure in adults in Cameroon
TL;DR: Together HR and movement sensing is a valid method for estimating physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) in free-living adults in rural and urban Cameroon compared with doubly-labelled water (DLW) as criterion.
