“…[1][2][3] Research has tended to focus on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA; ie, approximately ≥3 metabolic equivalents [METS]), although there is a lack of evidence on health benefits of light physical activities (LPA; ie, activities ranging between 1.5 and <3 METS) such as casual walking, lifting lightweight objects, light household chores or yard works, and stretching. 4,5 According to the estimates from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, time spent in devicemeasured LPA among adults (7.8 h/d) is much higher than those spent in MVPA (0.2 h/d). 6 LPA appears to have potential to increase daily physical activity energy expenditure.…”

“…To date, there have been three systematic reviews examining the relationships of LPA with mortality, revealing that LPA may confer health benefits in reducing risks of all-cause mortality. 5,8,9 Füzéki et al 8 reported a statistically significant beneficial association between LPA and mortality based on longitudinal studies (n = 3) by means of systematic review instead of meta-analysis. Although the included studies were conducted using objective measures of LPA, all the data were collected from a single source (ie, accelerometer data of the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey [NHANES]).…”

Introduction:The association of light-intensity physical activity (LPA) with mortality is poorly understood. This meta-analysis of cohort studies aimed to examine the dose-response relationships between daily device-measured LPA and mortality in adults aged 18 or older and to explore whether the associations were independent of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Methods: Searches for prospective cohort studies providing effect estimates of daily LPA (exposure) on all-cause mortality (outcome) were systematically undertaken in electronic databases up to April 30, 2019. Subgroup analyses and meta-regression analyses with random-effects models were performed to quantify the dose-response relationships between daily LPA and mortality. Sensitivity analyses were also conducted to assess the stability of the results. Results: A total of 11 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Analyses contained 49 239 individuals (mean age 60.7, SD = 13.6) who were followed up for a mean 6.2 years (2.3-14.2 years), during which 3669 (7.5%) died. In comparison with the reference group (<3 h/d), the pooled HRs (and 95% CIs) of mortality were 0.71 (0.62-0.82), 0.68 (0.59-0.79), 0.56 (0.44-0.71) for groups 3 to <5 h/d, 5 to <7 h/d, and more than 7 hours a day LPA, respectively. Meta-regression models indicated that there was a log-cubic dose-response relationship between daily LPA and mortality in adults and older people, independent of MVPA. Conclusions: Time spent in daily LPA was associated with reduced risks of mortality in adults and older people. These data support the inclusion of LPA in the future physical activity guidelines.

“…A reduction of maternal fasting glucose by 0.10 mmol/l and 120 min post‐challenge by 0.30 mmol/l could have the effect of reducing the odds of fetal macrosomia by 10% and the odds of an elevated cord C‐peptide >90 th centile by 20% . Several studies in various populations have examined the health effects of intensity‐specific physical activity and outlined greater beneficial effects when intensity increased . Our findings show that engaging in vigorous physical activity may also provide beneficial effects on glucose metabolism in Asian women of reproductive age.…”

Aims Whether low physical activity levels and high sedentary behaviour impair glucose metabolism before conception remains insufficiently documented, especially in at-risk populations such as Asian women. We examined the associations of physical activity and screen time, a proxy for sedentary behaviour, with fasting and post-load glucose levels of Singaporean women enrolled in a multi-ethnic Asian preconception study. Methods Moderate and vigorous physical activity and screen time (television and other electronic devices) were self-reported by women enrolled in the S-PRESTO cohort. Fasting, 30-min and 120-min glucose levels before/during an oral 75-g glucose tolerance test were measured. Associations of physical activity and screen time with glucose levels were analysed using generalized estimating equations. Results 946 women aged 31.4±3.7 years were examined; 72% of Chinese, 15.5% Malay, 9.3% Indian and 3.2% of mixed ethnicities. 32% of women reported being active, 36% watching television ≥2 h/day and 26% using electronic devices ≥3 h/day. In adjusted models, vigorous, but not moderate physical activity, was associated with lower overall glucose levels, and more strongly with post-challenge than fasting glucose levels. Compared to women not engaging in vigorous physical activity, those engaging in ≥75 min/week had lower fasting (-0.14 [-0.28, -0.01] mmol/L), 30-min (0.35 [-0.68, -0.02]) and 120-min (-0.53 [-0.16, -0.90]) glucose levels (overall p-value=0.05). We found no associations of screen time with glucose levels. Conclusions Independently of the time spent in non-vigorous physical activity and using screens, engaging in vigorous physical activity may be a modifiable factor to improve glucose regulation in women of Asian ethnicities attempting to conceive.

IMPORTANCE Current guidelines recommend 500 to 999 metabolic equivalent (MET)-minutes per week (MET-min/wk) of regular physical activity. However, evidence regarding the association between light-intensity physical activity (LPA) and dementia in older adults is inconsistent. OBJECTIVE To assess the association between physical activity and new-onset dementia, focusing on the dose-response association between physical activity and dementia and the association of LPA with the incidence of dementia. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTSFor this nationwide retrospective cohort study, we analyzed 62 286 participants aged 65 years or older without preexisting dementia who had available
