Purpose: Potential interactions between sedentary behaviour, physical activity (PA), and physical fitness with 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) status have been previously suggested. However, data are scarce concerning the association between these predictors of general health and the main active metabolite of vitamin D, the 1,25-dihidroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)D). This study aimed to analyse the relationship of sedentary time, PA levels, and physical fitness (i.e., maximal oxygen uptake (VOmax) and muscular strength) with 1,25(OH)D in middle-aged sedentary adults.
Methods: A total of 73 (39 women) middle-aged sedentary adults (53.7 ± 5.1 years old) participated in this cross-sectional study. Sedentary time and PA intensity levels were objectively measured with triaxial accelerometers for 7 consecutive days. VOmax was determined by a maximum treadmill test. Lower and upper limb muscular strength was assessed by an isokinetic strength test and by a handgrip strength test, respectively. 1,25(OH)D plasma levels were measured using a DiaSorin Liaison® immunochemiluminometric assay.
Results: No significant relationships were found between objectively measured sedentary time, PA levels or physical fitness (i.e., VOmax, extension and flexion peak torque, and hand grip strength) and 1,25(OH)D (all P > 0.05). All results persisted after controlling for age, sex, fat mass or energy, vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus intake.
Conclusions: In summary, our results show that vitamin D status is not affected by physical activity habits and sedentary behaviour in middle-aged sedentary adults.

Purpose: This paper describes the data collection and management methods for the Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3) Accelerometry Substudy, a nested cohort of device-based physical activity and sedentary time data.
Participants: US-based CPS-3 participants (initially enrolled 2006-2013) who completed the 2018 follow-up survey and had a valid email address were invited to the Accelerometry Substudy (n=109 780). Among the 23 111 participants who registered and were shipped an ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometer, 21 219 participants returned the device with a complete wear log (91.
Burden of cancer attributable to sedentary behaviour in Germany: an epidemiological analysis of survey data.
BMJ Open

Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany.
Objectives: Sedentary behaviour (SB) is associated with increased risks of breast, colorectal, endometrial, ovarian and rectal cancers. However, the number of cancer cases attributable to SB in Germany and the associated costs are unknown.
Setting: Numbers and proportions (population-attributable fractions, PAF) of new cancer cases attributable to SB with published risk estimates for Germany for the years 2024, 2030 and 2040.
Cigarette Smoking Impairs Cardiorespiratory and Metabolic Response at Peak Incremental Exercise and during Recovery in Young, Physically Active Adults.

Purpose: Cigarette smoking (CS) induces systemic changes that impair cardiorespiratory and muscular function both at rest and during exercise. Although these abnormalities are reported in sedentary, middle-aged smokers (SM) with pulmonary disease, few and controversial studies focused on young, physically active SM at the early stage of smoking history. This study aimed at assessing the impact CS on cardiorespiratory and metabolic response during an incremental test and the subsequent recovery in young, physically active SM without known lung or cardiovascular disease.

Purpose: Findings from previous Mendelian randomization (MR) studies disagreed with the current scientific consensus regarding the role of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior in ischemic stroke (IS). We reassessed these associations with a focus on etiological subtypes of IS and the potential mediating roles of cardiometabolic traits and brain imaging-derived phenotypes (IDPs).
Methods: We performed MR analyses using summary statistics from genome-wide association studies of sedentary behavior and PA (n = 88,411~608,595), cardiometabolic traits (n = 393,193~694,649), brain IDPs (n = 33,224) and the latest IS data (62,100 cases and 1,234,808 controls).
