Journal ArticleDOI
Associations between accelerometry measured physical activity and sedentary time and the metabolic syndrome: A meta‐analysis of more than 6000 children and adolescents
Marius Renninger,Bjørge H. Hansen,Jostein Steene-Johannessen,Susi Kriemler,Karsten Froberg,Kate Northstone,Luís B. Sardinha,Sigmund A. Anderssen,Lars Bo Andersen,Ulf Ekelund +9 more
TL;DR: This research highlights the need to know more about the association ofabolic syndrome with modifiable lifestyle factors and how to prevent an early onset.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reference values for cardiometabolic risk scores in children and adolescents: Suggesting a common standard
Mette Stavnsbo,Mette Stavnsbo,Geir Kåre Resaland,Sigmund Alfred Anderssen,Jostein Steene-Johannessen,Sidsel Louise Domazet,Turid Skrede,Luís B. Sardinha,Susi Kriemler,Ulf Ekelund,Lars Bo Andersen,Eivind Aadland +11 more
TL;DR: A unified approach makes single risk factors and clustered cardiometabolic disease risk scores comparable to the reference material itself and comparable to cardiometric risk values in studies using the same strategy, and increases the prospect to estimate and compare prevalence and trends of carduometabolic risk in children when using continuous cardiometryabolic risk scores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity levels in adults and older adults 3–4 years after pedometer-based walking interventions: Long-term follow-up of participants from two randomised controlled trials in UK primary care
Tess Harris,Sally Kerry,Elizabeth S Limb,Cheryl Furness,Charlotte Wahlich,Christina R. Victor,Steve Iliffe,Peter H. Whincup,Michael Ussher,Ulf Ekelund,Ulf Ekelund,Julia Fox-Rushby,Judith Ibison,Stephen DeWilde,Catherine M. McKay,Derek G Cook +15 more
TL;DR: Intervention participants followed up from both trials demonstrated higher levels of objectively measured PA at 3–4 years than controls, similar to previously reported 12-month trial effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Common Genetic Determinants of Glucose Homeostasis in Healthy Children: The European Youth Heart Study
Clara Kelliny,Ulf Ekelund,Lars Bo Andersen,Soren Brage,Ruth J. F. Loos,Nicholas J. Wareham,Claudia Langenberg +6 more
TL;DR: The effects of common polymorphisms influencing fasting glucose are apparent in healthy children, whereas the presence of multiple risk alleles amounts to a difference of >1 SD of fasting glucose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sedentary Time in Children: Influence of Accelerometer Processing on Health Relations.
Andrew J. Atkin,Ulf Ekelund,Niels Møller,Karsten Froberg,Luís B. Sardinha,Lars Bo Andersen,Soren Brage +6 more
TL;DR: The choice of accelerometer cut point may moderate the association between sedentary time and clustered metabolic risk, suggesting that direct comparisons of associations between studies using different cut points must be made with caution.
