Physical activity has health benefits across the lifespan, yet only 13 % of Canadian older adults are sufficiently active. Results from a number of observational studies indicate that adults display positive preferences for exercising with others of a similar age and same gender, and that intra-...
The project aims to explore how mobile technology can be integrated in group settings (1) and to develop games suitable for these different settings (2). The paper makes recommendations for game play in older adults' activity groups using touch tablets. 展开 ...
A significant association was also noted for receiving health professional advice to engage in physical activity (OR=1.25, 95% CI 1.01–1.54). Table 3 Correlates of physical activity in the total sample and stratified by diabetes status among Lebanese adults: results of the logistic regression, ...
The groups of activities used for analysis in this chapter include: - Walking (excluding walking to or from school): Walking is presented as part of the informal group of activities. It has been analysed separately as an activity of policy interest. The walks included are of any duration. ...
For each country we calculated the prevalence of people without severe activity limitations by 5-year age groups and for a first descriptive overview also by three selected 10-year age groups. Time of the survey was 2003. Sample weights were applied to account for non-response and to allow na...
Intensity of overall PA in this population was 165 MET-hours/week, in which energy expenditure in occupational PA accounted for 82%. Both types and intensity of PA were significantly different by SES: middle SES groups had higher intensity of occupational activities; lower SES subjects engaged in...
705 cells, respectively, in order of plotted groups. Full size image We then calculated the mean expression of epicardial gene modules during the hESC-EPI differentiation and found that angiogenic module D increased throughout, reaching a similar expression to the in vivo fetal epicardium (Fig.5g...
Median age was 40 to 45 years in all participant groups. HIV-negative MSM reported having condomless sex with their positive partners for a median 1.4 years (IQR, 0.5-3.5 years) prior to enrollment. For heterosexual couples this was 2.8 years (IQR, 0.6-7.5 years) for male-negative/...
Bayes factors indicated that there was neither evidence for, nor against, group differences in motor resonance values; between low and high AQ groups (B = 0.83), between high AQ and ASD groups (B = 1.25) or between low AQ and ASD groups (B = 1.29). There were no ...
Definitions of “recommended” physical activity in older adults varied across the studies as did approaches to measurement which posed methodological challenges to data analysis. Older age groups were less likely than the reference group to be regularly active, and women were less likely than men ...
