- Sedentary behavior is a major health risk, especially for older adults, who can spend up to 13 hours per day engaged in such activities; research shows this is linked to urinary incontinence (UI), particularly in older women who are at double the risk compared to men.
- A scoping review analyzed data from six databases to assess the relationship between sedentary behavior and urinary symptoms in noninstitutionalized older women aged 60 and above, using both objective and self-reported measurements.
- The review included seven studies with a total of 1,822 participants, revealing that older women with UI spend more than 8 hours a day being sedentary, and longer sedentary periods correlate positively with the
Introduction: Epidemic obesity ('globobesity') has led to a considerable rise in the prevalence and incidence of many disabling conditions, including cognitive dysfunction. Recent evidence has suggested that habitual exercise can alleviate the deleterious effects of obesity on cognitive functioning across the lifespan. Given that there is a potential link among obesity, exercise, cognitive health and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), this systematic review aims to critically appraise interventional trials on exercise and BDNF and to estimate the pooled effect of exercise training on BDNF levels among healthy individuals with overweight and obesity.
