Associations of proatrial natriuretic peptide with components of the metabolic syndrome in adolescents and young adults from the general population
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)BACKGROUND: In middle-aged and elderly populations, circulating natriuretic peptide concentrations are negatively associated with several components of the metabolic syndrome. Whether these negative associations are also ... -
Cross-Sectional Associations of Reallocating Time Between Sedentary and Active Behaviours on Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Young People : An International Children’s Accelerometry Database (ICAD) Analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Introduction Sedentary time and time spent in various intensity-specific physical activity are co-dependent, and increasing time spent in one behaviour requires decreased time in another. Objective The aim of the present ... -
Do physical activity and aerobic fitness moderate the association between birth weight and metabolic risk in youth?: the European youth heart study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-10-04)OBJECTIVE: Lower birth weight has been associated with a greater risk of metabolic diseases. The aim of this study was examine whether physical activity and aerobic fitness may modify associations between birth weigh and ... -
Fitness but not weight status is associated with projected physical independence in older adults
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-05)Obesity and fitness have been associated with older adults’ physical independence. We aimed to investigate the independent and combined associations of physical fitness and adiposity, assessed by body mass index (BMI) and ... -
