The inactivity time, or lost lifespan specifically for mortality data, concerns time from occurrence of an event interest to the current point and has recently emerged as a new summary measure cumulative information inherent in time-to-event data. This provides several benefits over traditional methods, including more straightforward interpretation yet less sensitivity heavy censoring. However,...

BACKGROUND Physical inactivity is a leading cause of morbidity, disability and premature mortality in the U.S. and worldwide. This study aimed to map the prevalence of physical inactivity across U.S. states over the past three decades, and estimate the over-time adjusted changes in the prevalence of physical inactivity in each state. METHODS Individual-level data (N = 6,701,954) were taken fr...

Prevalence of health behaviors among adults with disabilities may vary by disability measure. We used data from the 2011-2015 National Health Interview Survey to estimate prevalence of physical inactivity by disability status using 2 measures of disability: Basic Actions Difficulty questions (BADQ) and a standard 6-question measure (6Q). Disability prevalence (BADQ, 31.1%; 6Q, 17.5%) and inacti...

Physical inactivity is associated with an increase in cardiovascular risk that cannot be fully explained by traditional or novel risk factors. Inactivity is also associated with changes in hemodynamic stimuli, which exert direct effects on the vasculature leading to remodeling and a proatherogenic phenotype. In this review, we synthesize and summarize in vivo evidence relating to the impact of ...

In this study, we propose a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) with pulse glial network having dynamic period of inactivity. We connect glias to neurons in a hidden-layer. The glia is excited by the connecting neuron output. Then, the glia generates a pulse. The pulse is propagated to the connecting neuron and the neighboring glia. In the previous method, we fix a period of inactivity. The period of ...
