Adherence to physical activity guidelines in older adults, using objectively measured physical activity in a population-based study
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Physical activity (PA) levels in older adults decline with age. The prevalence and correlates of adherence to current UK PA guidelines in older adults has not been studied using objectively measured PA, which ... -
Adolescents’ use of the built environment for physical activity
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Physical activity is a health-enhancing behavior, but few adolescents achieve the recommended levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Understanding how adolescents use different built environment ... -
Does duration of physical activity bouts matter for adiposity and metabolic syndrome? A cross-sectional study of older British men
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Older adults have low physical activity(PA) and high sedentary behaviour(SB) levels. We investigate how total volume and specific patterns of moderate to vigorous PA(MVPA), light PA(LPA) and SB are related to ... -
Objectively measured physical activity and sedentary behaviour and ankle brachial index: Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations in older men
(Elsevier, 2016)Background: Associations between bouts of physical activity (PA), sedentary behaviour (SB) and cardiovascular disease, and their mutual independence are not well defined. A low ankle brachial index (ABI ≤0.9) indicates ... -
Objectively measured physical activity, sedentary time and subclinical vascular disease: Cross-sectional study in older British men
(Academic Press, 2016)Low physical activity (PA) and high levels of sedentary time (ST) are associated with higher cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among older people. However, their independent contribution and importance of duration of PA ...
