“…IPAQ is used in many recent studies to measure physical activity level of post-menopausal women [21] breast cancer patients (Canário, et al,1992), cardiovascular disease patients [22] and diabetes [23,24]. Turkish versions of the IPAQ short and long forms are found reliable and valid in assessment of physical activity [5].…”

Aim of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of RT6 in healthy, young, sedentary adults. A total of 41 healthy, young, sedentary adults were recruited to this study. Sociodemographic data and IPAQ were collected from the subjects. Subjects wore RT6 accelerometer and pedometer on their pelvises. Subjects were asked walk at their normal and brisk walking speeds for 10 minutes. These activities were repeated on a treadmill using the individual speeds from normal ground walking on two settings 1 week apart. Bland-Altman analyses were performed to determine the mean difference and the levels of agreement. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was used. There was a 63.2% agreement between the treadmill and the normal ground at normal speed measurements. There was no statistically significant correlation between the pedometer and other measures. This study found that RT6 is a valid measurement tool at normal and active walking speeds in measurement of physical activity.

“…In line with previous studies, we observed a lower median IPAQ score in patients with proliferative DR in comparison with patients with nonproliferative DR. Praidou et al 28 showed lower IPAQ scores in patients with type 2 diabetes and proliferative DR compared with patients with nonproliferative DR. 28 Additionally, the occurrence of DR in patients with type 1 diabetes was reported to be associated with lower intensity of total leisure -time physical activity. 29 However, the association was not significant.…”

“…Although the utility of physical activity as a moderator in the pathogenesis of retinopathy is widely disputed in the literature [1,[3][4][5][6]. Evidence has suggested physical activity may not completely attenuate the deleterious health outcomes of nonproliferative retinopathy [4].…”

“…Recent work also describes the rationale for physical activity to play a pivotal role in reducing the progressive severity of diabetes [9] and diabetic retinopathy [6,8]. Specifically, physical activity may reduce glycosylated hemoglobin concentration (HbA1c) and body mass index (BMI) [6] via improved control of circulating plasma glucose and body composition.…”

“…Specifically, physical activity may reduce glycosylated hemoglobin concentration (HbA1c) and body mass index (BMI) [6] via improved control of circulating plasma glucose and body composition. In addition to a reduction in HbA1c, physical activity also aids blood pressure regulation by enhancing endothelial function, namely, vasodilatory capacity [8].…”

Background: Participation in muscle strengthening activities (MSA) is a neglected health behavior that can have substantive health benefits. Objective: We evaluated the specific association between MSA and retinopathy among a national sample of the broader U.S. adult population, which has yet to be investigated in the literature. Results: Compared to those with no retinopathy, those who engaged in MSA had a 36% (odds ratio [OR] = 0.64; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.49-0.85; P = 0.004) reduced odds of having mild retinopathy. MSA was not statistically significantly associated with reduced odds of moderate-to-severe retinopathy (OR = 0.85; 95% CI = 0.13-5.32; P = 0.85). Conclusion: Promotion of MSA is of major public health interest.
