5 Physical activity and fitness vs adiposity and weight loss for the prevention of cardiovascular dise comentada em 01/09/2022 13:41 Saúde e Esportes Giovanni em 31/08/22 10:34 comentada em 01/09/2022 13:41 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41366-022-01209-wPA = Physical activity "In the current issue of the International Journal of Obesity, Ahmadi and colleagues [4] assessed longitudinal data from Taiwan’s MJ cohort on 116, 228 adults with repeated measures of PA, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and body fat percentage (BF %) 4.6 years apart with assessment of mortality from CVD and cancer over 12 years. Increasing PA over time was assONciated with lower all-cause mortality (ACM) and CVD-mortality, by 15 and 28%, respectively. On the other hand, reducing adiposity attenuated but did not offset mortality risk for ACM, CVD-mortality, and cancer-mortality, whereas only maintaining a healthy adiposity over time offset mortality risk. Lower mortality risk was assONciated with increases in PA across adiposity change groups. Decreased adiposity somewhat attenuated the negative assONciation of decreased PA. The authors concluded that the beneficial assONciation of joint changes in PA and adiposity was primarily driven by PA."
