Test 2 Flashcards
Type 2 Diabetes and PA
Intensity doesn’t matter
BMI and PA
Risk reduction is greater with no adjustment for BMI bc both pathways (PA and BMI) are involved in reducing the risk of T2D
Risk reduction is less after adjusting for BMI bc we can just see the direct effect of PA on T2D
Systolic blood pressure
Max pressure heart exerts while beating
Diastolic blood pressure
amount of pressure in arteries btwn beating
Is intensity associated w improvements in SBP and DBP?
Only diastolic bc as intensity increases so does the reduction in DBP.
Why is the reduction in risk of incident hypertension less after adjusting for BMI?
By adjusting for BMI, you remove the effect of the shared pathway of BMI and PA on hypertension, thereby leaving the direct effect of PA on hypertension
NO ADJUSTMENT FOR BMI: risk reduction greater bc we can reduce body weight by being physically active which then also reduces risk of hypertension
ADJUSTMENT FOR BMI: risk reduction less bc you take away one of the ways in which PA impacts blood pressure
Hypertension and PA
Linear inverse association
Blood pressure and PA
Regardless of blood pressure level or intensity, PA is associated with benefit in a dose-response pattern
Modifiable risk factors
diet
exercise
weight
radiation exposure
tobacco
Non-modifiable risk factors
Heredity
certain viruses
carcinogens
Colon cancer an PA
Dose response relationship
30-45min of PA a day is associated w benefit (all forms of exercise beneficial
Colon cancer and cardiorespiratory fitness
Powerful predictor of colorectal cancer
When we adjust for PA, relative risk remains same meaning regardless of your level of PA if you have a high CRF, you will reduce your risk of colon cancer
Sedentary time and colon cancer
If you are sedentary but very physically active, the risk that sedentary time has on developing colon cancer will be insignificant
Sitting time and cancer mortality
More time you spend sitting, the greater your risk of cancer mortality
However, performing large amounts of PA (ex. 35 MET-hr/week) risk of siting becomes insignificant
Breast cancer and PA
Threshold relationship
Must be exercising regularly, at high intensity, meeting guidelines to see benefit (gradual decline in risk as PA increases)
30 min a day
sedentary time increases risk
Lung cancer and PA
Smoking is a powerful predictor of lung cancer
In smokers there is a trend to the benefit of performing PA
In non-smokers there is no trend to the benefit of PA on lung cancer
*Relationship btwn PA and lung cancer must not be causal
ie. those who smoke the least tend to be more active and health conscious than those who regularly smoke causing a reduced risk of lung cancer
Sitting time and PA on all-cause mortality
Performing more PA for the same hours of sitting, reduces your risk to insignificant
Tv-viewing time, sedentary time and MVPA on all-cause mortality
For both daily sitting and TV viewing, MVPA mitigates the negative effects of sedentary time on all-
cause mortality in a dose-response manner.
The mitigating effects of MVPA on daily TV viewing time (greater than 5 hrs/day) is less pronounced
by comparison to an equal amount of sitting time.
The mitigating effects of MVPA on all-cause mortality for both daily TV viewing and sitting time is
greatest when going from no MVPA to 10 MET-hours per week.
Tv viewing
residual risk even with a high amount of PA
Screen time
Sitting while doing work has diff effects than sitting performing recreational screen time
