“…Psycho-physiological approaches including music, experiences of music and dancing also seem to have positive health effect [8, 9], and Hansen et al [10] found that social relations are of significance to motivational health-related behavior. This is in line with studies where social participation (cultural, religious, social activities) was found to be associated with survival, longevity and where also participation in cultural activities might have a positive influence and personal development [11–13].…”

BackgroundLeisure time activities and culture participation may have health effects and be important in pulic health promotion. More knowledge on how cultural activity participation may influence self-perceived health, life-satisfaction, self-esteem and mental health is needed.MethodsThis article use data from the general population-based Norwegian HUNT Study, using the cross-sectional Young-HUNT3 (2006–08) Survey including 8200 adolescents. Data on cultural activity participation, self-perceived health, life-satisfaction, self-esteem, anxiety and depression were collected by self-reported questionnaires.ResultsBoth attending meetings or training in an organisation or club, and attending sports events were positively associated with each of the health parameters good self-percieved health, good life-satisfaction, good self-esteem, and low anxiety and depression symptoms. We found differences according to gender and age (13–15 years versus 16–19 years old) for several culture activities, where girls aged 16–19 years seemed to benefit most from being culturally active. The extent of participation seemed to matter. Those who had frequent participation in cultural activities reported better health outcomes compared to inactive adolecents.ConclusionsThe results from this study indicate that participation in cultural activities may be positively associated with health, life-satisfaction and self-esteem in adolescents and thus important in public health promotion. Possible sex and age differences should be taken into account.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12889-015-1873-4) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Several barriers have been identified for lifestyle behavior change. Some of these are: patients do not regard diabetes as a serious disease [31], misperception of the patients' actual lifestyle behavior [32], decrease in wellbeing [33], asymptomatic disease, increased costs, cultural background [11], patients are satisfied with their behavior [34], frustration from lack of success [35], physical limitations, lack of time [36] and interference with work [37]. In the end however, without being motivated, acquiring and maintaining a healthy lifestyle will probably be impossible.…”

“…The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the prevalence of diabetes will more than double from 1997 to 2025 among adults, with an estimated increase from 143 million to 300 million cases. In 2000, the WHO reported a global prevalence of diabetes of 171 million people, and the expected prevalence in 2030 was predicted to be 366 million people [1] [2]. Physical inactivity and increased body weight are expected to increase the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes in Europe from 3.5% to 4.75% in the next 25 years [3] [4].…”

Background: Research indicates an association between impaired glucose metabolism and overweight, a serious public health problem involving an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes, related hypertension, and a reduced quality of life. Aim: The first aim is to assess different dimensions of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in overweight individuals at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes compared to a normal population. The second aim is to examine the impact of resistance training on the pre-post HRQoL dimension scores of the intervention group. Methods: Eighteen participants were randomly assigned to one of the two resistance training groups. Group 1 engaged in supervised maximal resistance training (Bernstein inverted pyramid system: 5× 3-4, 60%-85% of 1 Repetition Maximum (RM)), three days/week over four months, and Group 2 performed endurance resistance training (including lower weight loads and more repetitions over four months). The intervention consisted of eight exercises involving the entire body. The subjects completed the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) on HRQoL. The HRQoL scores of the norm population were higher than those of people at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, and resistance training seemed to have a limited significant positive effect on the different HRQoL dimensions.
