4th
Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study
Low cardioresp fitness was the number ? cause of preventable deaths
One (16-17%)
8.3% deaths attributed to physical inactivity, for whgich age group?
> = 40
Years of life lost
- inactive, normal weight (4.7)
- active, obese (4.5)
What is sedentary behaviour?
- behaviour with <= 1.5 METs (metabolic equivalents of task)
while seated, reclined, lying - independently increases disease risk and mortality
(even if ppl are physically activity guidelines, but sitting lots too)
What % of ppl achieve recommended amount of physical activity each week?
1/3 (33%)
TV viewing increased all cause mortality with what hazard ratio, even in those getting 7 hrs exercise per week?
1.5
Equal to ppl who never execised and never watch tv
What is physically active?
> = 150 mins of MVPA (moderate to vigorous)
(Or > 0 mins of MVPA)
What is physically inactive?
0 mins of MVPA
Can patients meet physical activity guidelines, but still have significantly sedentary behaviour?
Yes
How to reduce sedentary time?
sitting for < 50 mins at a time with a 5 min movement break
Most benefit gained with how many MET hours per week of physical activity?
10-20
(plateaus around 80)
Standing for how many hours is associated with a 10% reduction in mortality?
2 hours per day
Nurse Health Study
Risk reduction 0.82
How many hours of MVPA?
1.0 - 1.9 hours per WEEK
Is it better to spread out exercise over more than two days?
Yes
(HR 0.7 –> 0.65)
How many MET hours and mins is = 150 min of MVPA?
