Cardiometabolic factors explaining the association between physical activity and quality of life: U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To test the Clustered Cardiometabolic Risk (CCMR) factor explaining the relationship between physical activity and physical quality of life (QOL).

Methods

Using the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2006, 2,445 adults completed the CDC Healthy Days Questionnaire for measuring QOL, wore the accelerometer for assessing physical activity pattern (PAP), and completed triglyceride, glucose, serum insulin, waist circumference, blood pressure, and HDL-cholesterol tests from which the CCMR factor was created. Physical QOL was classified as poor (≥14 days with poor physical health within past 30 days) vs. good (<14 days). We classified PAP by moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light-intensity physical activity (LIPA), and sedentary behavior (SB). We defined MVPA, LIPA, and SB as ≥2020 counts/minute, 100-2019 counts/minute, and ≤99 counts/minute, respectively. We further classified PAP status as unhealthy (MVPA <150 min/week & SB>LIPA) or healthy (MVPA <150 min/week & SBLIPA or SBResultsCompared with having healthy PAP, individuals having unhealthy PAP had an elevated risk of poor physical QOL (OR = 1.96; 95% CI = 1.42-2.72). However, this association was explained by higher levels of the CCMR factor (OR = 1.46; 95% CI = 1.07-1.99) through poorer serum insulin (OR = 1.35; 95% CI = 1.04-1.75) and waist circumference (OR = 1.23; 95% CI = 1.02-1.50).

Conclusion

The CCMR factor (typically insulin and waist circumference) explained the association between unhealthy physical activity and poor physical QOL.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious findings have revealed that disorders of lipid metabolism may be a risk factor for pulmonary function damage; however, the combined effect of dyslipidemia and central obesity on pulmonary function is unclear. The cardiometabolic index (CMI) is a composite of serum lipids (triglyceride (TG)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)) and visceral fat parameters (waist-to-height ratio (WHtR)). This research aimed to investigate the link between CMI and pulmonary function, employing large-scale demographic data sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database.MethodsThis cross-sectional study used data involving 4125 adults aged 20 and above collected by NHANES between 2007 and 2012. We defined CMI as the exposure variable and measured outcomes using forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV1/FVC to evaluate pulmonary function. Weighted multiple linear regression models and subgroup analyses were employed to investigate separate relationships between CMI and pulmonary function. In addition, to investigate variations across different strata and evaluate the robustness of the findings, interaction tests and sensitivity analyses were conducted.ResultsResults from the weighted multiple linear regression analysis indicated a unit increase in log2-CMI was associated with a reduction of 82.63 mL in FEV1 and 112.92 mL in FVC. The negative association remained significant after transforming log2-CMI by quartile (Q). When the log2-CMI level reached Q4, β coefficients (β) were -128.49 (95% CI: -205.85, -51.13), -169.01 (95% CI: -266.72, -71.30), respectively. According to the interaction test findings, the negative association linking log2-CMI with FEV1 and FVC persists regardless of confounding factors including age, gender, BMI, physical activity (PA), and smoking status. A subsequent sensitivity analysis provided additional confirmation of the stability and reliability of the results. For females, the inflection points for the nonlinear relationships between log2-CMI and FEV1, as well as log2-CMI and FVC, were identified at 2.33 and 2.11, respectively. While in males, a consistent negative association was observed.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that higher CMI is associated with lower FEV1 and FVC. CMI may serve as a complementary consideration to the assessment and management of pulmonary function in clinical practice.

Project description:PurposeFor most people, the benefits of physical activity far outweigh the risks. Research has suggested that exercise preparticipation questionnaires might refer an unwarranted number of adults for medical evaluation before exercise initiation, creating a potential barrier to adoption. The new American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) prescreening algorithm relies on current exercise participation; history and symptoms of cardiovascular, metabolic, or renal disease; and desired exercise intensity to determine referral status. Our purpose was to compare the referral proportion of the ACSM algorithm to that of previous screening tools using a representative sample of U.S. adults.MethodsOn the basis of responses to health questionnaires from the 2001-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, we calculated the proportion of adults 40 yr or older who would be referred for medical clearance before exercise participation based on the ACSM algorithm. Results were stratified by age and sex and compared with previous results for the ACSM/American Heart Association Preparticipation Questionnaire and the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire.ResultsOn the basis of the ACSM algorithm, 2.6% of adults would be referred only before beginning vigorous exercise and 54.2% of respondents would be referred before beginning any exercise. Men were more frequently referred before vigorous exercise, and women were more frequently referred before any exercise. Referral was more common with increasing age. The ACSM algorithm referred a smaller proportion of adults for preparticipation medical clearance than the previously examined questionnaires.ConclusionsAlthough additional validation is needed to determine whether the algorithm correctly identifies those at risk for cardiovascular complications, the revised ACSM algorithm referred fewer respondents than other screening tools. A lower referral proportion may mitigate an important barrier of medical clearance from exercise participation.

Project description:BackgroundInsulin resistance (IR) has been reported to be associated with aging; however, few studies have investigated the relationship between IR and biological age (BA). The Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a recognized marker of IR. Currently, there is insufficient evidence regarding the relationship between the TyG index and biological aging. This study aims to provide deeper insights into the connections between the TyG index and biological aging.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), including 12,074 adults (aged 20 and older) from the 2001-2010 and 2015-2018 cycles. Comprehensive TyG and BA data were extracted for analysis. To explore the relationship between the TyG index and BA, linear regressions were employed, while logistic regression models were used to examine the association between the TyG index and accelerated aging. Additionally, trend tests, subgroup analyses, and smoothed fitted curves were conducted to assess the robustness of the findings.ResultsWe included 12,074 participants with a mean age of 46.91 years (SD, 16.64); of these, 50.25% were female and 49.75% were male. Each 1-unit increase in the TyG index was associated with a 1.64-year rise in Klemera-Doubal method (KDM) biological age and a 117% higher risk of accelerated aging. Similarly, each 1-unit increase in the TyG index corresponded to a 0.40-year increase in phenotypic age, resulting in a 15% higher risk of accelerated aging. The analysis also revealed nonlinear positive relationships between the TyG index and biological aging, particularly for KDM biological age (P for non-linearity < 0.001) and phenotypic age (P for non-linearity = 0.005), with a turning point at 8.66. Across all subgroups, the TyG index consistently showed a positive correlation with biological aging, even in the presence of significant interactions.ConclusionsThere is a significant positive association between the TyG index and biological aging. Higher TyG levels are linked to increased biological age and a greater risk of accelerated aging.
