Special Article: Physical Activity, Physical Fitness, and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Childhood

Physical activity and cardiovascular risk factors in childhood cancer survivors.

BACKGROUND Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at high risk of developing treatment-related late effects, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Late effects can be exacerbated by low physical activity (PA) levels. Relationships between PA and cardiovascular risk factors during childhood have not been well described in CCS. PROCEDURE PA and cardiovascular risk factors were measured c...

Novel Risk Factors of Cardiovascular Disease and Their Associations Between Obesity, Physical Activity And Physical Fitness

The prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasing around the globe and is the leading cause of death around the world. Though once thought of as an adult problem, it is now recognised that the early manifestations of disease may occur during childhood. Numerous risk factors have been linked to CVD with much of the research focusing on understanding the prevalence and relationship of ...

New Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Physical Activity

The Relationship Between Physical Activity, Lipid Profile, and Two New Anthropometric Cardiovascular Risk Factors Among Men

Background: Cardiovascular diseases are among the most prevalent causes of morbidity and mortality. This research investigated the relationship between physical activity, lipid profile, and new anthropometric cardiovascular risk factors among men. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 155 adult men (30-50 years old) who were selected randomly from 250 men called by public announ...

Physical Activity and Physical Fitness

The focus of the PhenX (Phenotypes and eXposures) Toolkit is to provide researchers whose expertise lies outside a particular area with keymeasures identifıed by experts for uniform use in large-scale genetic studies and other extensive epidemiologic efforts going forward. The current paper specifıcally addresses the PhenX Toolkit research domain of physical activity and physical fıtness (PA/PF...
