Impact of Pain on Activities of Daily Living in Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA).

Pain, particularly musculoskeletal (MSK) and multi-site pain, significantly impacts activities of daily living (ADL) in the elderly, leading to a decline in overall quality of life (QoL). This study, comprising 7490 participants, (mean age: 69 ± 10; females: 57%) from the sixth wave of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA), aimed to assess the association between self-reported pain and ADL impairment among the elderly population. Notably, 62% of participants reported experiencing pain, with back pain being the most prevalent (36%) and stomachache the least (0.

Impacts of life-events on sitting, TV viewing and computer use among women from disadvantaged neighbourhoods.

Background: Little is known about how life events such as changes in parental or employment status influence sedentary behaviour (SB). Women from disadvantaged neighbourhoods are at particular risk of poor health, therefore, in this population group this study aimed to determine between changes in parental and employment status with sitting, television viewing (TV), and computer time.

Methods: Women (18-45 years) from socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbourhoods self-reported their employment status, number of children, sitting, TV, and computer time [(baseline (n = 4349), three (n = 1912) and 5 years (n = 1560)].

Patterns and Predictors of Television Viewing and Computer Use Among Women Living in Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Neighborhoods: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: Socioeconomically disadvantaged women are at an increased risk of sedentary behaviors including television (TV) viewing and computer use, so identifying determinants of these behaviors is important.

Methods: Women (n = 4349) self-reported weekly TV and computer time (in minutes per week), sociodemographic, and health data at 3 time points (2007-2013). Mixed-effect negative binomial regression was used to determine the baseline determinants of TV viewing and computer use over time, adjusting for confounders.

Patterns and Predictors of Sitting among Women from Disad-Vantaged Neighbourhoods over Time: A 5-Year Prospective Cohort Study.

: Our aim was to describe patterns of sitting over time and determine the sociodemographic predictors of sitting over time among women living in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Women age between 18 and 45 years (mean = 34.4 ±8.

Sedentary behavior in obese pregnant women is associated with inflammatory markers and lipid profile but not with glucose metabolism.

Background: Sedentary behavior is an independent risk factor for the metabolic syndrome, but the role of sedentary behavior in the development of gestational diabetes is unclear.

Objectives: This study tested the hypothesis that less sedentary behavior is related to better insulin sensitivity, lipid and cytokine profile in obese pregnant women.

Methods: A longitudinal observational study with 46 overweight and obese pregnant women was conducted.

Cytokines and their association with insulin resistance in obese pregnant women with different levels of physical activity.

Background: Cytokines contribute to insulin resistance in pregnancy, but the role of distinct cytokines is not fully understood.

Objectives: To study whether cytokines produced by tissues other than skeletal muscle are associated with glucose and insulin metabolism activity in overweight and obese women and to study whether these associations can be modified by physical activity.

Methods: A longitudinal study with 44 overweight and obese pregnant women was conducted.
