Associations between number and type of conditions and physical activity levels in adults with multimorbidity - a cross-sectional study from the Danish Lolland-Falster health study.

Aim: To provide detailed descriptions of the amount of daily physical activity (PA) performed by people with multimorbidity and investigate the association between the number of conditions, multimorbidity profiles, and PA.

Methods: All adults (≥18 years) from The Lolland-Falster Health Study, conducted from 2016 to 2020, who had PA measured with accelerometers and reported medical conditions were included (n=2,158). Sedentary behavior and daily PA at light, moderate, vigorous, and moderate to vigorous intensity and number of steps were measured with two accelerometers.

Assessing the level of device-measured physical activity according to insomnia symptoms in 1,354 individuals with diabetes: the HUNT Study, Norway.

Background: Insomnia symptoms that influence daytime functioning are common among adults with type 2 diabetes. However, no previous study has examined if levels of physical activity differ among adults with diabetes with and without insomnia symptoms. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the difference in total physical activity (TPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) levels in individuals with diabetes with and without insomnia symptoms.

The effectiveness of digital health interventions for the maintenance of physical activity following cardiac rehabilitation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To summarise the effectiveness of digital health maintenance interventions for subjectively and objectively measured physical activity level (PA) and physical function, fitness and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after completion of phase II cardiac rehabilitation (CR).

Methods: We conducted a search for studies in MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, and CINAHL (inception to May 2024). Independent reviewers selected and included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) using digital health interventions to maintain PA in patients with cardiovascular disease after phase II CR.

First detection of Marteilia pararefringens in Mytilus trossulus.

Marteilia pararefringens is a protistan parasite that mainly infects the digestive gland of mussels Mytilus spp. Despite observations of marteiliosis in mussels since the 1970s, the reported host species has generally not been verified by molecular methods. The 3 closely related mussels Mytilus edulis, M.
