Introduction: This study examined the association between simultaneity of four health-risk behaviours, namely, low levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (insufficient MVPA: <420 min/week), tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and excessive television (TV)-(>2 h/d of TV viewing) and self-rated health (SRH) in Brazilian adolescents.
Methods: We used data of 100,551 adolescents from the National School Health Survey, a national cross-sectional study carried out in 2015. Association between simultaneity of health risk behaviours (i.e. the ratio between observed and expected prevalence rates) and SRH was examined using logistic regression models.
Results: The majority of the participants were female (51.9%) and 14 years of age (50.6%), and 26% of the participants' SRH ranged from 'average' to 'extremely poor'. Those who engaged in the following combinations of health-risk behaviours had higher odds of worse SRH than their healthier counterparts: insufficient MVPA and tobacco use (odds ratio-OR: 2.0, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.4 to 3.0); insufficient MVPA and alcohol consumption (OR: 1.6, 95%CI: 1.3 to 1.9); insufficient MVPA and >2 h/day of TV viewing (OR: 1.3, 95%CI: 1.1 to 1.6); insufficient MVPA, tobacco use and alcohol consumption (OR: 2.1, 95%CI: 1.7, to 2.7); and insufficient MVPA, alcohol consumption and >2 h/day of TV viewing (OR: 1.6, 95%CI: 1.4 to 2.0).
Conclusions: Insufficient MVPA, alcohol consumption, and other health-risk behaviours were associated with worse SRH in Brazilian adolescents.

Association of 'weekend warrior' and other leisure time physical activity patterns with obesity and adiposity: A cross-sectional study.
Diabetes Obes Metab

Physical Fitness Association of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China.
Aim: To investigate the effect of different physical activity patterns on obesity.
Materials And Methods: Data from adults aged 17-79 years were extracted from the Hong Kong Territory-Wide Physical Fitness Survey conducted in 2011-2012 and 2021-2022. Moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) patterns were collected through questionnaires and categorized as inactive (no MVPA ≥10 min), insufficiently active (<150 min MVPA/week), weekend warriors (≥150 min MVPA/week from 1 to 2 days) and regularly active (≥150 min MVPA/week from ≥3 days).
The neural dynamics of familiar face recognition.
Neurosci Biobehav Rev
December 2024
Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- Humans excel at recognizing familiar faces, but past research using EEG/ERP methods hasn't fully captured the neural mechanisms involved in this ability.
- The article highlights key aspects of familiar face recognition, including image-independence, varying levels of familiarity, automatic recognition, and how selective this process is.
- A new theoretical framework is proposed, breaking down familiar face recognition into distinct phases and integrating current concepts, marking significant progress in understanding the brain's role in this skill.
Cadence as a Behavioral Target in Physical Activity Interventions: A Narrative Review.
Am J Lifestyle Med

Department of Applied Physiology and Kinesiology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA (DC).
Behavioral interventions targeting moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) to ensure health benefits can be strengthened by a simple metric that helps adults understand if they are exercising at the target intensity. Laboratory studies have established that a cadence of 100 steps/min is equivalent to MVPA, but intervention application is largely unexplored. The aim of this narrative review was to describe how cadence has been implemented in behavioral interventions.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how sitting for long periods (sedentary behavior) can increase the risk of heart-related issues like atrial fibrillation and heart failure.
- Researchers analyzed data from over 89,000 participants using accelerometers to measure daily sedentary time and its impact on cardiovascular health.
- Results indicated that those sitting more than 10.6 hours a day faced significantly higher risks for heart failure and cardiovascular death, and moving more (even a little) could help reduce these risks.
