Latent profile analysis patterns of exercise, sitting and fitness in adults - Associations with metabolic risk factors, perceived health, and perceived symptoms.

ABSTRACT: AIM:To identify and describe the characteristics of naturally occurring patterns of exercise, sitting in leisure time and at work and cardiorespiratory fitness, and the association of such profiles with metabolic risk factors, perceived health, and perceived symptoms. METHODS:64,970 participants (42% women, 18-75 years) participating in an occupational health service screening in 2014-2018 were included. Exercise and sitting were self-reported. Cardiorespiratory fitness was estimated using a submaximal cycle test. Latent profile analysis was used to identify profiles. BMI and blood pressure were assessed through physical examination. Perceived back/neck pain, overall stress, global health, and sleeping problems were self-reported. RESULTS:Six profiles based on exercise, sitting in leisure time and at work and cardiorespiratory fitness were identified and labelled; Profile 1 "Inactive, low fit and average sitting in leisure, with less sitting at work"; Profile 2 "Inactive, low fit and sedentary"; Profile 3 "Active and average fit, with less sitting at work"; Profile 4 "Active, average fit and sedentary in leisure, with a sedentary work" (the most common profile, 35% of the population); Profile 5 "Active and fit, with a sedentary work"; Profile 6 "Active and fit, with less sitting at work". Some pairwise similarities were found between profiles (1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6), mainly based on similar levels of exercise, leisure time sitting and fitness, which translated into similar dose-response associations with the outcomes. In general, profile 1 and 2 demonstrated most adverse metabolic and perceived health, profile 4 had a more beneficial health than profile 3, as did profile 6 compared to profile 5. CONCLUSIONS:The present results implies a large variation in exercise, sitting, and fitness when studying naturally occurring patterns, and emphasize the possibility to target exercise, sitting time, and/or fitness in health enhancing promotion intervention and strategies.

Project description:BackgroundHigh amounts of time spent sitting can increase cardiovascular disease risk and are deleteriously associated cardio-metabolic risk biomarkers. Though evidence suggests that accruing sitting time in prolonged periods may convey additional risk, verification using high-quality measures is needed. We examined this issue in adults from the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study, using accurate measures of sitting accumulation.MethodsIn 2011/12, 739 adults aged 36 to 89 years (mean±SD 58±10 years) wore activPAL3™ monitors (which provide accurate objective measures of sitting); 678 provided ≥4 valid days of monitor data and complete cardio-metabolic biomarker and confounder data. Multivariable linear regression models examined associations of sitting time, sitting time accrued in ≥30 minute bouts (prolonged sitting time), and three measures of sitting accumulation patterns with cardio-metabolic risk markers: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure, high- and low- density lipoprotein (HDL and LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and 2-hour post-load glucose (PLG). Interactions tests examined whether associations of sitting time with biomarkers varied by usual sitting bout duration.ResultsAdjusted for potential confounders, greater amounts of sitting time and prolonged sitting time were significantly (p<0.05) deleteriously associated with BMI, waist circumference, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. Total sitting time was also significantly associated with higher PLG. Sitting accumulation patterns of frequently interrupted sitting (compared to patterns with relatively more prolonged sitting) were significantly beneficially associated with BMI, waist circumference, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, PLG, and with FPG. Effect sizes were typically larger for accumulation patterns than for sitting time. Significant interactions (p<0.05) showed that associations of sitting time with HDL, triglycerides and PLG became more deleterious the longer at a time sitting was usually accumulated.ConclusionsAdding to previous evidence reliant on low-quality measures, our study showed that accumulating sitting in patterns where sitting was most frequently interrupted had significant beneficial associations with several cardio-metabolic biomarkers and that sitting for prolonged periods at a time may exacerbate some of the effects of sitting time. The findings support sedentary behavior guidelines that promote reducing and regularly interrupting sitting.

Project description:BackgroundNursing home residents commonly experience poor sleep conditions. However, few studies have explored the potential sleep patterns among nursing home residents. This study aimed to identify the sleep patterns in nursing home residents, compare residents' characteristics across sleep patterns, and examine the relationships between sleep patterns and residents' mental health (i.e., depressive and anxiety symptoms).MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in 27 nursing homes in Jinan, China, from March to June 2018. In total, 353 participants were recruited via convenience sampling, and of which, 326 completed the survey. A latent profile analysis was performed to identify sleep patterns based on the seven dimensions of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Bivariate analyses were conducted to compare residents' characteristics among the sleep patterns. Mixed-effects logistic regression analyses were adopted to investigate the relationships between sleep patterns and residents' mental health.ResultsThree sleep patterns were identified, including 'good sleepers', 'poor sleepers without hypnotic use', and 'poor sleepers with hypnotic use'. Residents' gender, education, pain, instrumental activities of daily living, and number of chronic conditions were significantly differentiated across the sleep patterns. Compared with 'good sleepers', 'poor sleepers without hypnotic use' were significantly associated with more depressive symptoms (OR = 3.73, 95% CI = 2.09, 6.65, p < 0.001), but not with anxiety symptoms (OR = 2.04, 95% CI = 0.97, 4.29, p = 0.062); whereas 'poor sleepers with hypnotic use' had significantly more depressive (OR = 5.24, 95% CI = 2.54, 10.79, p < 0.001) and anxiety symptoms (OR = 5.02, 95% CI = 2.13, 11.83, p < 0.001).ConclusionsThis study reveals three distinct sleep patterns in nursing home residents and their significant associations with residents' mental health. These findings can inform future research to develop appropriate and tailored intervention strategies for improving sleep and promoting mental health for nursing home residents.

Project description:BackgroundBecause of the significant regional differences in the distribution of allergens, the relationship between anaphylaxis and allergic sensitization is complex in China. Using this large-scale epidemiologic survey, we explore the potential patterns of sensitization to common allergens in mainland China and investigate their relationship with various clinical symptoms.MethodThe participants were recruited from 13 medical centers in mainland China from October 2019 to June 2021. Skin prick test (SPT) results that cover 18 common allergens were utilized to diagnose atopic sensitization. The demographic characteristics and clinical information were collected through questionnaires during routine medical follow-up. Latent class analysis (LCA) was conducted to determine the optimal sensitization patterns. The logistic regression was used to assess the associations of different sensitization patterns with allergy symptoms.FindingsA total of 1089 patients who had a positive SPT to at least one of 18 allergens were included for formal analysis. An optimal LCA model with 4 classes was obtained in this study, and the corresponding labels were as follows: Class1, house dust mite sensitization; Class2, low pollen sensitization; Class3, middle pollen sensitization; Class4, high pollen sensitization. The prevalence of different classes varied widely in geographical distribution, which was characterized by Class1 being very common in south and east as well as Class2 in north and west of China. Compared with patients in Class1, those in middle and high pollen sensitization clusters had the higher odds ratios (ORs) of allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis when controlling for other confounders. However, there was no significant difference between low pollen sensitization and house dust mite sensitization groups in the risks for various clinical performances except dermatitis. Additionally, the adjusted ORs (95% confidence interval) of allergic conjunctivitis and dermatitis for participants in pollen sensitization clusters (Class2, 3 and 4) were 1.56 (1.18, 2.06) and 1.43 (1.09, 1.88) respectively compared with those in Class1.InterpretationIn this study, we identified four sensitization clusters with specific risks of various clinical symptoms using common allergens by adopting LCA. Our findings may contribute to improved diagnosis and potential immunotherapy approaches to allergy in mainland China.FundingThis study was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (81802076 and 81871736), the Guangzhou Science and Technology Foundation (202102010327), the Foundation of SKLRD (MS-2019-06 and Z-2022-09), and the Foundation of GYYY (ZH201904) and ZNSA-2020012.
