Article Synopsis
- Extended sedentary behavior is linked to health risks, and integrating physical activity into office work environments could be a solution to reduce this issue.
- A clinical trial tested different active workstations (standing, walking, stepping) against traditional sitting stations in an employee wellness center, measuring cognitive function and fine motor skills among 44 healthy participants.
- Results showed that active workstations improved cognitive performance without significantly impairing typing abilities, indicating they could help decrease sedentary time at work.
Background: Prognosis based on body fat percentage (BF%) in patients with coronary artery disease has not been extensively studied. We tested the hypothesis that patients with coronary artery disease and increased BF% have a higher risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and that fat-free mass is associated with better prognosis.
Methods And Results: We included 717 patients referred to cardiac rehabilitation after coronary artery disease events or procedures who underwent air displacement plethysmography to assess BF%; 75% were men, with a mean age 61.
Objective: Successfully teaching duty hour restricted trainees demands engaging learning opportunities. Our surgical educational website and its associated assets were assessed to understand how such a resource was being used.
Design: Our website was accessible to all Mayo Clinic employees via the internal web network.
