The effect of physical activity on cardiometabolic health and inflammation in treated HIV infection.

ABSTRACT: In HIV-uninfected populations, physical activity decreases mortality and inflammation. Inflammation is a potential cause of comorbidities in HIV+ adults, the evidence examining the effect of physical activity on cardiometabolic health is limited. This analysis examines the relationship between physical activity, cardiometabolic health and inflammation.We conducted a nested study within the SATURN-HIV trial in which 147 HIV+ adults were randomized to 10 mg daily rosuvastatin or placebo. Measures of physical activity, cardiometabolic health, inflammation and vascular disease (carotid artery intima media thickness and computed tomography-acquired measures pericardial fat volume) were assessed at baseline and through 96 weeks. Spearman correlations and multivariable analyses were used to explore relationships between physical activity, cardiometabolic health and inflammation.Median age (Q1, Q3) was 46 (40.4, 52.7) years, 80% were male, 69% were African American and 46% were on protease inhibitors. Baseline median physical activity was 44 min per week (0, 150), 24% of participants performed greater than 150 min per week. At baseline, physical activity correlated with several markers of cardiometabolic health and inflammation (all P?0.05). Over all time points median physical activity was independently associated with carotid distensibility (?=2.53; P=0.008), pericardial fat volume (?=-6.13; P=0.001) and interleukin-6 (?=-0.468; P<0.001).Physical activity is associated with vascular disease, endothelial function, and may be an adjuvant to decreasing comorbidities in HIV+ adults. Further studies should examine long-term effects of physical activity on cardiometabolic health and inflammation in this population. Clinicaltrials.gov NCT01218802.

Project description:Background and aimsPhysical inactivity, sedentary behaviour (SB), and inadequate sleep are key behavioural risk factors of cardiometabolic diseases. Each behaviour is mainly considered in isolation, despite clear behavioural and biological interdependencies. The aim of this study was to investigate associations of five-part movement compositions with adiposity and cardiometabolic biomarkers.MethodsCross-sectional data from six studies (n = 15 253 participants; five countries) from the Prospective Physical Activity, Sitting and Sleep consortium were analysed. Device-measured time spent in sleep, SB, standing, light-intensity physical activity (LIPA), and moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) made up the composition. Outcomes included body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, HDL cholesterol, total:HDL cholesterol ratio, triglycerides, and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c). Compositional linear regression examined associations between compositions and outcomes, including modelling time reallocation between behaviours.ResultsThe average daily composition of the sample (age: 53.7 ± 9.7 years; 54.7% female) was 7.7 h sleeping, 10.4 h sedentary, 3.1 h standing, 1.5 h LIPA, and 1.3 h MVPA. A greater MVPA proportion and smaller SB proportion were associated with better outcomes. Reallocating time from SB, standing, LIPA, or sleep into MVPA resulted in better scores across all outcomes. For example, replacing 30 min of SB, sleep, standing, or LIPA with MVPA was associated with -0.63 (95% confidence interval -0.48, -0.79), -0.43 (-0.25, -0.59), -0.40 (-0.25, -0.56), and -0.15 (0.05, -0.34) kg/m2 lower BMI, respectively. Greater relative standing time was beneficial, whereas sleep had a detrimental association when replacing LIPA/MVPA and positive association when replacing SB. The minimal displacement of any behaviour into MVPA for improved cardiometabolic health ranged from 3.8 (HbA1c) to 12.7 (triglycerides) min/day.ConclusionsCompositional data analyses revealed a distinct hierarchy of behaviours. Moderate-vigorous physical activity demonstrated the strongest, most time-efficient protective associations with cardiometabolic outcomes. Theoretical benefits from reallocating SB into sleep, standing, or LIPA required substantial changes in daily activity.

Project description:IntroductionThis study examines the dose-response relationship between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and cardiometabolic measures in adolescents.MethodsCross-sectional spline analyses were performed using 2003-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data among adolescents (aged 12-19 years, N=9,195) on objectively measured (2003-2006) and self-reported (2007-2016) weekly mean minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and cardiometabolic measures (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, BMI, and cardiorespiratory fitness). Inflection points were determined for nonlinear relationships.ResultsFor objective moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, female adolescents had significant nonlinear associations with inflection points at 90 minutes/week for BMI percentile and systolic blood pressure. Male adolescents had inflection points at 150 weekly minutes of objective activity for BMI percentile and cardiorespiratory fitness. BMI percentile was about 7% lower for female and male adolescents at 150 weekly minutes of objectively measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity than at 0 minutes. For self-reported moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, inflection points were at 375 minutes/week (diastolic blood pressure for female adolescents) and 500 minutes/week (systolic blood pressure for male adolescents).ConclusionsAmong several significant dose-response relationships between physical activity and cardiometabolic health in adolescents, consistent and often nonlinear relationships were identified for BMI, with inflection points at 90-150 minutes of objective moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Notable differences in associations and linearity were identified by sex and physical activity measure (objective or self-reported). These results support calls for any increase in physical activity among adolescents and suggest that recommendations closer to the adult guidelines of 150 weekly minutes of physical activity may be health promoting and more attainable for youth than the current recommendation of 420 weekly minutes.

Project description:PurposesPhysical activity (PA) may mitigate late cardiometabolic toxicity of cisplatin-based chemotherapy in testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) long-term survivors. In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated the effects of habitual PA on metabolic syndrome (MetS) prevalence, and on the markers of cardiometabolic health and chronic inflammation in a population of long-term TGCT survivors.MethodsMetS prevalence was evaluated, and habitual PA was assessed using Baecke's habitual PA questionnaire in TGCT survivors (n=195, age=41.1±8.1years, 11.7±5.2years post-therapy) and healthy male controls (n=41, age=38.2±8.8years). Participants were stratified into low- and high-PA groups based on median values. Differences were examined between low- and high-PA groups (in the entire sample, TGCT survivor sub-samples differing in disease stage, and healthy controls), and between TGCT survivors and controls. Next, TGCT survivors were stratified into age- and BMI-matched sub-groups based on post-treatment time (5-15/15/30years) and number of chemotherapy cycles (≤3/>3), allowing us to detect age- and BMI-independent effects of habitual PA on cardiometabolic health in the given TGCT survivor sub-populations. A correlation matrix of habitual PA and sport activity with cardiometabolic and pro-inflammatory markers was generated.ResultsTGCT survivors had higher MetS prevalence than controls. Patients with high habitual PA had lower waist circumference and Systemic Inflammation Index. Habitual PA scores correlated positively with HDL-cholesterol and negatively with waist circumference and atherogenic risk. Furthermore, cardiometabolic benefits of habitual PA were more pronounced in patients with disease stages 1 and 2. Effects of habitual PA on patients sub-populations stratified by chemotherapy dose and post-treatment time clearly showed that higher levels of habitual PA were associated with lower numbers of MetS components, except for patients who received more than 3 chemotherapy cycles and were examined more than15 years post-therapy.ConclusionsHigher levels of habitual PA effectively mitigated cardiometabolic toxicity in TGCT survivors. Patients with higher cumulative doses of chemotherapy may need structured exercise interventions involving higher-intensity physical activity to achieve significant improvements in cardiometabolic health.

Project description:Objectives To investigate the associations of physical activity level with COVID-19 mortality risk across body mass index (BMI) categories, and to determine whether any protective association of a higher physical activity level in individuals with obesity may be explained by favourable levels of cardiometabolic and inflammatory biomarkers. Design Prospective cohort study (baseline data collected between 2006 and 2010). Physical activity level was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (high: ≥3000 Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET)-min/week, moderate: ≥600 MET-min/week, low: not meeting either criteria), and biochemical assays were conducted on blood samples to provide biomarker data. Setting UK Biobank. Main outcome measures Logistic regressions adjusted for potential confounders were performed to determine the associations of exposure variables with COVID-19 mortality risk. Mortality from COVID-19 was ascertained by death certificates through linkage with National Health Service (NHS) Digital. Results Within the 259 397 included participants, 397 COVID-19 deaths occurred between 16 March 2020 and 27 February 2021. Compared with highly active individuals with a normal BMI (reference group), the ORs (95% CIs) for COVID-19 mortality were 1.61 (0.98 to 2.64) for highly active individuals with obesity, 2.85 (1.78 to 4.57) for lowly active individuals with obesity and 1.94 (1.04 to 3.61) for lowly active individuals with a normal BMI. Of the included biomarkers, neutrophil count and monocyte count were significantly positively associated with COVID-19 mortality risk. In a subanalysis restricted to individuals with obesity, adjusting for these biomarkers attenuated the higher COVID-19 mortality risk in lowly versus highly active individuals with obesity by 10%. Conclusions This study provides novel evidence suggesting that a high physical activity level may attenuate the COVID-19 mortality risk associated with obesity. Although the protective association may be partly explained by lower neutrophil and monocyte counts, it still remains largely unexplained by the biomarkers included in this analysis.
