The authors investigated the associations of the amount, frequency and intensity, and type of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) with the risk of self-reported difficulty in walking (WD) and stair climbing (SCD) over 16 years in a population-based cohort age 40-64 years at the onset of the study. Their results indicated that the risk for SCD was highest among men and women with a low amount of weekly LTPA. The risk was high also among women with weekly light LTPA compared with women with weekly vigorous LTPA. The risk for WD was highest among men who engaged in fitness activity once a week compared with men who engaged in fitness activity at least three times a week. A low amount of weekly LTPA, light LTPA twice or more a week, and LTPA for keeping fit and healthy less than three times a week are associated with future risk of mobility difficulties among middle-aged and older adults.

Association of domain-specific physical activity with nocturia: a population-based study.

Nocturia is the most prevalent lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS) and is closely associated with various diseases and social burdens. Research on the relationship between physical activity and various diseases has progressed significantly. However, the association between nocturia and physical activity has received limited attention in prior studies.

Objectives: The association between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and a lower risk of mortality is susceptible to bias from multiple sources. We investigated the potential of biological ageing to mediate the association between long-term LTPA and mortality and whether the methods used to account for reverse causality affect the interpretation of this association.
Methods: Study participants were twins from the older Finnish Twin Cohort (n = 22,750; 18-50 years at baseline).

Background: Chronic inflammatory airway diseases (CIAD) are well-known risk factors for depression symptoms. There exists a complex interplay between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and depressive symptoms. However, the relationship between LTPA duration and depressive symptoms in CIAD patients remains unclear.

Background: The association of workload and performance with physical functioning is recognised among the ageing public sector workforce. The characteristics of working conditions and social- and health-related factors associated with physical functioning after statutory retirement are still unknown. Also, previous studies on changes in physical functioning have not used a person-oriented approach.

Purpose: Balanced dietary patterns, sufficient physical activity, and other healthy lifestyle behaviors are increasingly recognized as a complimentary strategy for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aim to explore the joint association of anti-inflammatory diet and vigorous leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) on all-cause and CVD mortality.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 16,068 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2014).
