“…Covariates in the present study comprised sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle-related variables and health-related variables that were chosen based on previous research. 7,19,20 The sociodemographic characteristics encompassed age (40-49, 50-59, 60-69, ≥70 years), sex (men, women), education level (illiteracy, ≤primary school, middle school, ≥high school), residence (urban, rural) and marital status (married with spouse, widowed, divorced/ others). Smoking status (current smokers, former smokers, never smoked), drinking frequency (>1/month, ≤1/month, never drank) and sleep duration (<6, 6-8, ≥8 h) were all lifestyle-related variables.…”

AimThis study investigated the prevalence of possible sarcopenia (PSA) in a large sample of middle‐aged and older adults, and determined the association between PSA, major chronic diseases and the number of chronic diseases.MethodsA total of 14 917 adults aged ≥40 years were included in the analysis. The handgrip strength and the five‐time chair stand test were used to assess PSA. The participants' major chronic diseases were divided into 14 categories. Four categories were created based on the participants' number of chronic illnesses: 0, 1, 2 and ≥3.ResultsThe present study found an overall prevalence of PSA of 23.6% among Chinese middle‐aged and older adults aged ≥40 years, with the risk increasing with advancing age. PSA was significantly associated with most categories of chronic diseases and multimorbidity. The closely independent associations were obtained for stroke; emotional, nervous or psychiatric problems; chronic lung disease, asthma, heart disease, hypertension and arthritis or rheumatism. Compared with participants with 0 chronic disease, those with two or more chronic diseases had higher odds for PSA. However, the association between PSA and the number of chronic diseases varied in different sex and age groups.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that PSA is associated with major chronic diseases among middle‐aged and older adults. People with two or more chronic diseases have a greater likelihood of PSA compared with those without chronic diseases, and the association between PSA and the number of chronic diseases largely depended on sex and age.

“…Low levels of physical activity can lead to an increase in weight, body fat, and associated health problems [14][15][16]. The dimensionless ratio of the circumferences of the waist and hips is known as the waist-hip ratio (WHR) or waist-to-hip ratio (WHR).…”

“…Power, i.e., the capacity or rate at which a subject can execute work, is a skill-related physical fitness factor [16]. In this study, the standing long jump, usually referred to as the broad jump, was measured to assess explosive leg power, which is frequently used to assess overall muscle power.…”

(1) Background: The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether there is a direct correlation between the physical fitness of the general population, specifically students, and the response times to fire-emergency-related building evacuations and to identify which physical fitness factors more significantly influenced emergency movement times. (2) Methods: In this quantitative investigation, 21 students (both men and women of the same age) volunteered to participate. We first evaluated their physical fitness; then, we analyzed their reaction times and speed. (3) Results: The results of this study revealed a relationship between emergency response times and evaluations of muscular strength, muscular endurance, muscle power, cardiorespiratory fitness, and body composition. The physically active group demonstrated a stronger initial response (i.e., a shorter time to reach a safe location) to fictitious emergency scenarios. The reduction in the necessary response time did not, however, appear to be related to the degree of flexibility. (4) Conclusions: This study showed how physical fitness might alter initial emergency response times and lessen the effects of a disaster on the general population.

“…It is a common geriatric illness that is defined by a decrease in muscle strength and physical performance as well as an age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass [1]. There is accumulating evidence that sarcopenia is related to a series of negative health outcomes including functional disability, falls, frailty, fractures, morbidity, and mortality [2][3][4]. Sarcopenia presents a significant challenge to healthy aging.…”

Background: Identifying treatment targets for sarcopenia is a public health concern. This study aimed to examine the association of nocturnal sleep duration and midday napping with the presence of sarcopenia in middle-aged and older adults, utilizing data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study in 2011 and 2015. Methods: A sum of 7,926 individuals (²40 years) took part in this study. Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia. A self-reported questionnaire was used to collect data on nocturnal sleep duration and midday napping. Nocturnal sleep duration was categorized into three groups: short sleepers (<6 h), normal sleepers (6-8 h), and long sleepers (>8 h). Midday napping was coded as a dichotomous outcome (yes/no). Results: The incidence of sarcopenia was 5.3% during the 4-year follow-up. Short sleep duration (<6 h) was substantially linked to an increased incidence of sarcopenia (OR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.21-1.87) as compared to nocturnal sleep length (6-8 h). Adults with midday napping had a lower risk of developing sarcopenia than non-nappers (OR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.63-0.95). We further found that short sleepers with midday napping did not have a significantly higher risk of subsequent diagnosis of sarcopenia compared to normal sleepers without midday napping. Conclusion: These findings imply that short sleep duration in middle-aged and older persons is related to an increased incidence of sarcopenia. However, the adverse effect of short sleep duration on sarcopenia can be compensated by midday napping.
