“…[40][41][42] These changes are brought about by economic development, globalization, and increased mechanization and are associated with reduced PA and adverse health outcomes. [40][41][42] Socioeconomic surveys of household assets and occupation vividly capture this phenomenon. Standard approaches are rudimentary in their ability to assess the effect of a determinant that changes over time, for example, shift in occupation, on the health outcome of interest, such as PA. 9 Further, standard approaches do not account for complex relationships where the determinant itself influences one or more covariates to change over time, say, shift in occupation associated with use of motorized transport or screen time.…”

Life course research in physical activity: Pathway to Global Action Plan 2030

Current global trends in physical activity levels demonstrate that the world is not on track to achieve the 2030 target set by the Global Action Plan. The Action Plan posited that physical activity should be an integral component of "daily lives" of all individuals "across the life course." Potential contributions to achieve global physical activity goals include the utilization of compositional data analysis and life course epidemiology to provide a framework for the composite nature of physical activity and complex life course relationships. Combining these two traditionally disconnected fields represents a paradigm shift in physical activity research. Here, we discuss how these combined fields enable a reinterpretation of previous research findings and explore their impact on policy and potential advantages and challenges. Careful consideration needs to be given to the implications of both fields remaining disconnected and the alternate option of consolidation to realize ambitions.

“…Urbanization, shifting dietary patterns, and sedentary lifestyles increase CVD risk (Turin et al., 2013). South Asia bears the highest absolute burden of CVD globally, affecting individuals at younger ages (Liu et al., 2023; Moran & Vedanthan, 2013; Raheem et al., 2022; Sharma et al., 2021). Poor dietary choices play a significant role in the development of CVD and related conditions in this population (Desai et al., 2021; Zhao, 2021).…”

Omega‐3 fatty acids (omega‐3 FAs) have been widely recognized for their therapeutic advantages, including anti‐inflammatory and cardioprotective properties. They have shown promise in enhancing regulatory function, promotingdevelopment and mitigating the progression of diabetes and cancer. The scientific communities, along with industries, are actively endorsing initiatives aimed at increasing the daily intake of lipids rich in omega‐3 FAs. Nevertheless, incorporating polyunsaturated FAs (PUFAs) into food products poses several challenges due to their susceptibility to oxidation when exposed to oxygen, high temperatures, and moisture. This oxidative deterioration results in undesirable flavours and a loss of nutritional value. Various methods, including physical blending, interesterification, and encapsulation, have been utilized as ways to enhance the stability of edible oils rich in PUFA against oxidation. Encapsulation has emerged as a proven strategy for enhancing the oxidative stability and functional properties of omega‐3 FA‐rich oils. Multiple encapsulation methods have been developed to stabilize and improve the delivery of omega‐3 FAs in food products. The selection of an appropriate encapsulation method depends on the desired application of the encapsulated oil. In addition, encapsulation enhances the bioavailability of omega‐3 FAs by promoting increased absorption of the encapsulated form in the intestinal epithelium. This review discusses the techniques and principles of omega‐3 FA‐rich oil encapsulation and its role in improving stability and bioavailability. Furthermore, it also investigates the potential health benefits of these encapsulated oils. This review explores the variations in bioavailability based on encapsulation techniques and processing, offering vital insights for nutrition and product development.
