Physical independence is crucial for overall health in the elderly individuals. The life expectancy of women has been shown to be higher than that of men, which is also known as the “male–female health-survival paradox”. Sex hormones may be one of the
Child Sexual Abuse and Revictimization in the Form of Adult Sexual Abuse, Adult Physical Abuse, and Adult Psychological Maltreatment Research has suggested that child sexual abuse (CSA) may place a woman at greater risk for further abuse in adulthood, a phenomenon called revictimization...

Yet, less work has been done to synthesize the evidence on the association between physical punishment at home and schools and child, adolescent, and adult outcomes in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where more than 90% of children live and physical punishment is most socially ...
Additionally, interested and eligible women receive written study information and are asked to complete and sign an informed consent form. With the women who return their informed consent form an appointment for the baseline visit at our research unit is made. See Figure 1 for the flow chart of...
There was a significant negative correlation between time in light-intensity PA and sedentary at all time points: r = − 0.64, r = − 0.64 and r = − 0.57 for baseline, 1-year and 7-year follow-up, respectively (all Po0.001). The volume of activity (counts per minute) and ...
Model VI: Adjusted for model V plus variables for work physical activity, commuting physical activity, and sedentary behavior. When analyzing the relationship between commuting physical activity and smoking behavior. We took commuting physical activity as the independent variable (1=yes, 2=no) and ...
In adolescents, the level of physical activity (PA) is strongly correlated with cardiovascular fitness1, lipid profiles and body composition (BC) indices2. Being physically inactive, however, may lead to cardiovascular diseases (CVD)1,2,3. For instance, lower physical fitness due to insufficient ...
However, a consistent decline in PA participation has been noted with increasing age, with older adults consistently being reported as the least physically active population. Previous evidence showed that dance is an appropriate form of PA in older adults as it integrates the body’s movement with...
To support the global strategy to reduce risk factors for obesity, we synthesized the evidence on physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Our systematic overview included seven systematic reviews
The neurotrophin hypothesis predicts that in order to provide the biological substrate for an effective antidepressant treatment, the newly generated granule cells must be integrated in the hippocampal circuitry, and hence their axons (the mossy fibers) must form new synapses on CA3 dendrites (Castren...
