Determining the amount of physical activity needed for long-term weight control

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate prospectively the in¯uence of habitual physical activity on body weight of men and women and to develop a model that de®nes the role of physical activity on longitudinal weight change. DESIGN AND SETTING: Occupational cohort study conducted for a mean of 5.5 y. SUBJECTS: A total of 496 (341 male and 155 female) NASAaJohnson Space Center employees who completed the 3 month education component of the employee health-related ®tness program and remained involved for a minimum of 2 y. MEASUREMENTS: Body weights were measured at baseline (T1) and follow-up (T2), and habitual physical activity was obtained from the mean of multiple ratings of the 11-point (0 ± 10) NASA Activity Scale (NAS) recorded quarterly between T1 and T2. Other measures included age, gender, VO 2 max obtained from maximal treadmill testing, body mass index (BMI), and body fat percentage. RESULTS: Multiple regression demonstrated that mean NAS, T1 weight, aging and gender all in¯uence long-term T2 weight. T1 age was signi®cant for the men only. Independently, each increase in mean NAS signi®cantly (P`0.01) reduced T2 weight in men (b 7 0.91 kg; 95% CI : 7 1.4 to 7 0.42 kg) and women (b 7 2.14 kg; 95% CI : 7 2.93 to 7 1.35 kg). Mean NAS had a greater effect on T2 weight as T1 weight increased, and the relationship was dose-dependent. CONCLUSIONS: Habitual physical activity is a signi®cant source of long-term weight change. The use of self-reported activity level is helpful in predicting long-term weight changes and may be used by health care professionals when counseling patients about the value of physical activity for weight control.

“…Physical activity was assessed by the DR's EXTRA Physical Activity Interview, which is modified from the questionnaire of Jackson et al (1990) and has been described in detail previously (Hakola et al, 2010). Basal metabolic rate was calculated by Schofield-equation (Schofield, 1985) and was used to assess the extent of dietary underreporting (Goldberg et al, 1991).…”

Food consumption, nutrient intake and the risk of having metabolic syndrome: the DR's EXTRA Study

et al. 2010

Background:The associations of different components of diet with metabolic syndrome (MetS) are largely unknown. We therefore studied the associations of intakes of selected food items and nutrients with the risk of having MetS. Methods: The participants were a representative population sample of 1334 individuals (671 women, 663 men) 57-78 years of age. Dietary intake was assessed by a 4-day food record. MetS was defined by the National Cholesterol Education Program criteria. Results: Consumption of vegetables, non-root vegetables, legumes and nuts berries and fish had an inverse and consumption of sausage had a direct association with the risk of having MetS in men after adjustment for age, smoking and alcohol consumption. Consumption of vegetables and non-root vegetables had an inverse and consumption of sausage had a direct association with the risk of having MetS in women after these adjustments. However, after further adjustment for maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2max ) most of these associations vanished. Men in the highest third of consumption of berries, fish, and legumes and nuts had 49, 37 and 44% lower risk of having MetS, respectively, than those in the lowest third after further adjustment for VO 2max . Women in the highest third of sausage consumption had a 72% higher risk of having MetS than non-consumers. Conclusions: Consumption of legumes and nuts, berries and fish was inversely associated with MetS in men. Consumption of sausage was directly associated with MetS in women. VO 2max seems to be a strong confounding factor between food consumption and MetS.

“…The main aim of this contact was to quantify the amount of physical activity performed following the BWR program by using the physical activity rating questionnaire (Jackson et al, 1990). The phone call also comprised a discussion of diet and behavioural strategies, but adherence to the nutritional instructions was not directly verified.…”

“…The physical activity rating scale provides an assessment score of 0-7 on an individual's level of physical activity (Jackson et al, 1990). The questionnaire consists in a series of eight statements about routine physical activity and subjects have to select only one response that best describes their physical activity level.…”

Changes in body composition, physical performance and cardiovascular risk factors after a 3-week integrated body weight reduction program and after 1-y follow-up in severely obese men and women

et al. 2005

Objective: To investigate the short-and medium-term (ie, at 1-y follow-up) effects of a hospital-based body weight reduction (BWR) program lasting 3 weeks in severely obese individuals. Design: Longitudinal, clinical intervention study entailing energy-restricted diet, tailored aerobic-strength exercise, psychological counselling and nutritional education during a 3-week period followed by 49 weeks of indirect supervision at home. Subjects: In all, 45 women and 19 men aged 30.277.2 y (mean7s.d.) with severe obesity (BMI: 41.374.3 kg/m 2 ), classified as weight losers (finaloinitial weight) and regainers (finalZinitial weight). Interventions: Body composition, physical performance and cardiovascular risk factors before and after the BWR program and at follow-up. Results: The large majority of the experimental subjects obtained a clinical success after the 1-y period, and the rate was higher in females (n ¼ 37/45, ie, 82.2%) than in males (n ¼ 11/19, ie, 57.9%). At follow-up, weight losers had higher percent fat-free mass, muscle strength, HDL-cholesterol and self-reported physical activity level and lower total cholesterol and glucose levels than weight regainers (Po0.05-0.01). Males displayed significantly larger fat-free mass losses than females at post-BWR and at follow-up. Conclusions: A 3-week hospital-based integrated BWR program resulted in a high rate of clinical success in severely obese individuals at 1-y follow-up (particularly in females), that was associated with increased levels of self-reported physical activity and improved muscle strength and lipid profile. Further research is needed to establish the long-term effects (ie, at 2-5 y) associated to this treatment.
