Importance: Observational studies have demonstrated consistent protective effects of higher educational attainment (EA) on the risk of suffering mental health conditions (MHC). Determining whether these beneficial effects are causal is challenging given the potential role of dynastic effects and demographic factors (assortative mating and population structure) in this association.
Objective: To evaluate to what extent the relationship between EA and various MHC is independent from dynastic effects and demographic factors.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how different levels of physical activity and sedentary time affect lipoprotein metabolism in a group of fifth-grade Norwegian schoolchildren.
- Researchers measured the children's physical activity using accelerometers and assessed lipoprotein levels through blood serum samples using advanced spectroscopy techniques.
- Findings revealed that higher levels of moderate and vigorous physical activity correlated with a healthier lipoprotein profile, while increased sedentary time was linked to a less favorable profile, suggesting that overall activity levels matter more than changes in activity over time.
Background And Aims: The associations between aerobic fitness and traditional measures of lipid metabolism in children are uncertain. We investigated whether higher levels of aerobic fitness benefit lipoprotein metabolism by exploring associations with a comprehensive lipoprotein particle profile.
Methods: In our prospective cohort study, we used targeted proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H NMR) spectroscopy to profile 57 measures of lipoprotein metabolism from fasting serum samples of 858 fifth-grade Norwegian schoolchildren (49.
Background And Aims: Physical activity is favourably associated with certain markers of lipid metabolism. The relationship of physical activity with lipoprotein particle profiles in children is not known. Here we examine cross-sectional associations between objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time with serum markers of lipoprotein metabolism.

Recent Findings: The obesity epidemic has led to a focus on lifestyle approaches to the prevention of weight gain. Physical activity is one such approach. A number of studies have reported beneficial associations between higher levels of physical activity and weight gain at the population level.
Background: Distance running continues to experience increased participation in the Western world, although it is associated with high injury rates. Barefoot running has been increasingly proposed as a means to prevent overuse injury due to various biomechanical differences, including reduced joint loading rates and altered kinematics and muscle activity patterns compared to shod running.
Objective: The aim of this review was to systematically evaluate biomechanical differences between running barefoot and shod, including the quality of available evidence, in order to provide guidance on the phenomenon of barefoot running to the running and sports medicine communities.
