Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the connections between different levels of physical activity—sedentary behavior (SED), low-intensity physical activity (LIPA), and moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA)—and the prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis in the coronary and carotid arteries among 22,670 participants from a Swedish study.
- Findings indicated that high levels of sedentary time were linked to an increased risk of significant coronary atherosclerosis, while MVPA was associated with a lower risk of both coronary and carotid atherosclerosis.
- Theoretical shifts from sedentary behavior to moderate-to-vigorous activity could lower the risk of significant coronary atherosclerosis, particularly in participants with high sedentary time
Objective: During the first stage of implementing the National Medication List in Sweden, a web-based application called Förskrivningskollen (FK) was launched. FK includes information about a patient's prescribed and dispensed medications, and it works as a backup system until the healthcare electronic health record (EHR) systems are fully integrated. The aim of this study was to examine the healthcare professionals' experiences and perceptions of FK.

However, it is unclear how these factors relate to subclinical atherosclerosis due to a lack of longitudinal studies. This study investigated whether early adulthood exercise capacity and muscle strength associated with later adulthood subclinical atherosclerosis.

Time spent in sedentary behavior (SB) has increased during the last decades. Accurate assessments are of importance when studying health consequences of SB. This study aimed to assess concurrent validity between three different questions for self-reported sitting and thigh worn accelerometer data.

A total of 27 890 (92.5% of total participants, 52% women, aged 50-64 years) middle-aged men and women with at least four days of valid hip-worn accelerometer data (Actigraph GT3X+, wGT3X+ and wGT3X-BT) from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study, SCAPIS, were included.
