📊 Our latest meta-analysis, incorporating data from over 12,000 participants across 7 countries, provides new insights into how changes in daily movement behaviors influence obesity risks across the lifespan. 🔗Full text: doi.org/10.1007/s40279… 👇Explore more in this video.

Capturing 24-h movement helps us to probe the mechanisms by which our daily activity profile, including sitting and sleep🏃‍♂️🪑🧘‍♀️💤 may influence our risk of disease risk.. An interesting read to start your 2025! 🎉 Esmée Bakker Thijs Eijsvogels onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Associations of adiposity and device-measured physical activity with cancer incidence: UK Biobank prospective cohort study doi.org/10.1016/j.jshs…

Some insights on the increasing importance of muscle-strengthening activities as we age - an often overlooked aspect of PA guidelines and research.

🚶‍♂️💤How reliable is 1-week of device wear? Are repeat-measures one solution? OxWearables finds accelerometer-derived activity & sleep in UKB are moderately reproducible (ICC: 55%+) & show repeat measures can reduce bias and strengthen confidence in large cohort-study findings.

🤰To investigate associations between 24-hr #activity behavior and #pregnancy outcomes various combinations of activPAL, Actiwatch, & #sleep diary data were integrated to describe 24-hr activity. Parsed groupings were investigated to reduce burden. 🔗 doi.org/10.1123/jmpb.2…

🚨 New study out highlighting the power of small combined changes in sleep, activity & nutrition! A 10% lower risk of mortality was possible with just: ✅ + 15 min sleep/day ✅ + 1.6 min moderate-to-vigorous exercise/day ✅ + ½ serving vegetables/day 📎doi.org/10.1186/s12916…

Traditionally studied separately, a new study emphasizes the interconnected roles of Sleep, Physical Activity and Nutrition: "SPAN"🛌🏃‍♂️🍎 "This study emphasises that combined doses of SPAN behaviours act synergistically" [to reduce mortality risk]. bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Does daily MVPA need to be in 10-min bouts for longevity? 🕒 A new longitudinal study in older adults suggests no, what's crucial is getting those 40-80mins of device-measured MVPA, just from everyday lifestyle, or from structured exercise📊 TH@疫学

Another bold leap forwards- more comprehensive movement behaviour💤👣 and sleep guidance which is more-specific and meaningful to those in the first year post-partum. 🤱🧘‍♀️🚶‍♀️👟 The change reflects the immense hard work and evidence-generation which has shaped these new guidelines.

Collaboration - A core tenet of ProPASS following such a successful ISPAH 2024. Idea-sharing today with the UCL Healthy Weight Research Team National Institute for Health and Care Research , Jo Blodgett. ProPASS partner studies are helping us quantify the importance of 24-h behaviours for all aspects of health.

Device-measures of physical behaviour still hold immensely rich information beyond weekly averages, which our work and our partners are unveiling. Measures of 'compositional' variance may help reveal the day-to-day fluctuations of behaviour. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
