“…Maybe these strategies are not so effective because their focus is on specific behaviors. For example, PA guidelines have been published by the World Health Organization and many countries, such as Canada, Australia and the Netherlands, and yet, PA levels have not increased worldwide . Therefore, exploring how behaviors coexist can support the development of specific initiatives that target multiple behavior changes in those who need it the most.…”

Aim The aim of the present study was to describe the clustering of diet, physical activity, television viewing, and tobacco and alcohol use among Brazilian older adults (aged ≥60 years). Methods We carried out a secondary analysis of the Brazilian National Health Survey of 2013. Brazilian older adults (n = 11 177) reported their consumption of fruit and vegetables, leisure physical activity, television viewing, tobacco smoking, and alcohol intake. Latent class analysis was used to identify behavior patterns. Results Three classes of behaviors were identified. The “Healthy” class (34.8%) had the highest probability of meeting recommendations for physical activity, and fruit and vegetable consumption; the “Poor diet and PA” class (46.5%) presented low probabilities of meeting recommendations for physical activity and alcohol consumption; and the “Smoking and binge drinking” class (18.7%) had the highest probability of smoking and binge drinking. Conclusions Three behavioral patterns were identified in the Brazilian older population. Even in the “Healthy” class, less than half of the older adults were considered physically active, suggesting that there is no completely healthy profile. Nevertheless, physical activity and fruit and vegetable consumption behaviors clustered, as did smoking and binge drinking. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2019; 19: 245–248.

“…The World Health Organization recommends that adults accumulate a minimum of 150 min of moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA (MVPA) per week for good health [3]. Reported adherence to these guidelines in high-income countries remains low (36.8%) [4] and the prevalence of inactivity is more than double that in low income countries [5]. Independent of MVPA, there is strong evidence that time spent in sedentary activities (i.e.…”

Background With approximately 8 hours of one’s waking day spent at work, occupational tasks and environments are important influencers on an individual’s physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviours. Little research has compared device-measured physical activity, sedentary behaviour and cardiometabolic outcomes between occupational groups. Objective To compare device-measured movement (sedentary time [ST], light intensity physical activity [LPA], moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity [MVPA], and steps) across occupations. The secondary objective was to examine whether cardiometabolic and fitness outcomes differed by occupation. Methods Five bibliographic databases were searched to identify all studies which included working age, employed adults from high-income countries, and reported on device-measured movement within occupations. Risk of bias within and across studies was assessed. Results were synthesized using meta-analyses and narrative syntheses. Results The review includes 132 unique studies with data from 15,619 participants. Working adults spent ~ 60% of their working and waking time engaged in sedentary behaviour; a very small proportion (~ 4%) of the day included MVPA. On average, workers accumulated 8124 steps/day. Office and call center workers’ steps/day were among the lowest, while those of postal delivery workers were highest. Office workers had the greatest ST and the lowest time in LPA both at work and during wakeful time. However, office workers had the greatest minutes sent in MVPA during wakeful hours. Laborers had the lowest ST and spent a significantly greater proportion of their work time in LPA and MVPA. Healthcare and protective services workers had higher levels of LPA at work compared to other occupations. Workers in driving-based occupations tended to have a higher body mass index and blood pressure. Conclusion This review identifies that occupational and wakeful time PA and ST differed between occupations. Future studies are needed to assess whether patterns differ by age and sex, describe leisure-time movement and movement patterns, and the relationship with cardiometabolic health.

“…La inactividad física también es muy prevalente en esas regiones. Según la OMS, los países de Latinoamérica y el Caribe son los primeros del mundo en inactividad, con una tasa de prevalencia de actividad física insuficiente, del 32 %. Un reciente informe sobre la actividad física de 64.034 adolescentes de la región mostró que solo el 15 % eran activos físicamente.…”
