Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates the physical fitness trends among Swiss male conscripts from 2007 to 2022, highlighting concerns about the high rates of obesity in young adults affecting military recruitment.
- - Analysis of medical data reveals that conscripts with obesity or overweight have significantly poorer scores in physical fitness tests compared to those of normal weight, indicating a greater likelihood of being rated as "Insufficient" or "Sufficient."
- - Findings suggest that the physical fitness levels of overweight and obese conscripts are deteriorating over time, emphasizing the need for better interventions to improve fitness among this population.
Several raw-data processing software for accelerometer-measured physical activity (PA) exist, but whether results agree has not been assessed. We examined the agreement between three different software for raw accelerometer data, and associated their results with cardiovascular risk. A cross-sectional analysis conducted between 2014 and 2017 in 2693 adults (53.

We tested whether the acute administration of iron for the correction of iron deficiency influenced insulin secretion and the production of reactive oxygen species.
Methods: Single-center, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial conducted between June 2017 and March 2020.
Introduction: Evidence suggests that the built environment can influence the intensity of physical activity. However, despite the importance of the geographic context, most of the studies do not consider the spatial framework of this association. We aimed to assess individual spatial dependence of objectively measured moderate and vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and describe the characteristics of the built environment among spatial clusters of MVPA.

We compared the PAFQ with accelerometry data for measuring levels of physical activity (PA) in a middle-aged and elderly population.
Design: Cross-sectional analysis was conducted with a sample of 1752 adults from the general population (50.
The impact of the combination between physical activity (PA) and sedentary (SE) levels on cardiovascular health is poorly known. We assessed the association of activity behaviours and patterns with cardiovascular risk factors in the general population (The CoLaus study, Switzerland, 2014-2017). 2605 adults (54.

Methods: Cross-sectional study including 1948 adults (54.
Study Objectives: To evaluate the association of objective physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with sleep duration and quality.
Methods: Cross-sectional study including 2649 adults (53.5% women, 45-86 years) from the general population.
Some children are inactive on weekends but active on weekdays. Correlates of such behavior remain to be clarified. We assessed school, out-of-school and family correlates of compliance with physical activity (PA) recommendations during weekdays among weekend non-compliant youth in Switzerland.

We assessed the socio-economic determinants of PA and SE behaviours and patterns in a population-based study (The CoLaus study, Lausanne, Switzerland, 2014-2017). 2229 adults (51.

We assessed the predictive value of low GS on incident CV events and overall mortality taking into account CV risk equations in a population-based study from Switzerland.
Methods: 2707 adults (54.
Background Mechanisms underlying the association between grip strength and cardiovascular mortality are poorly understood. We aimed to assess the association of grip strength with a panel of cardiovascular risk markers. Design The study was based on a cross-sectional analysis of 3468 adults aged 50-75 years (1891 women) from a population-based sample in Lausanne, Switzerland.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) mortality has been shown to follow a seasonal pattern. Several studies suggested several possible determinants of this pattern, including misclassification of causes of deaths. We aimed at assessing seasonality in overall, CVD, cancer and non-CVD/non-cancer mortality using data from 19 countries from different latitudes.

Methods: Data from repeated, independent cross-sectional representative samples of adults (≥ 18 years) of the Geneva population were collected between 2005 and 2011.
Objective: To assess the seasonality of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in a large set of population-based studies.
Methods: Cross-sectional data from 24 population-based studies from 15 countries, with a total sample size of 237 979 subjects. CVRFs included Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference; systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure; total, high (HDL) and low (LDL) density lipoprotein cholesterol; triglycerides and glucose levels.
