BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) poses a substantial public health burden
and is the leading cause of mortality in older adults. With the population aging rapidly …

Background Aging leads to increased visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and reduced skeletal
muscle density. To which extent these are associated with the risk of stroke, myocardial …

Regular exercise is associated with a substantial reduction in risk across a broad range of
health outcomes. The principal mechanisms by which exercise is associated with …

This brief review provides an update on the specific effects of regular physical activity on
total body fat and especially on the mass of visceral adipose tissue. Several meta-analyses …

Objective To examine the association of changes in physical activity and adiposity with all-
cause mortality and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods Physical activity, body …

Aim The aim of this study was to respectively explore the relationships between physical
activity and sedentary behaviors and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality …

Objective This review explored whether cardiorespiratory fitness or physical activity act as
either confounders or effect modifiers of the relationship between adiposity markers and all …

Background Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is known as an independent predictor of
cardiometabolic risk and all-cause mortality, while increased physical activity has been …

Contributing behavioural components of CVD include the consumption of a diet high in
saturated fat, cigarette smoking and low levels of habitual physical activity. Physical inactivity …

Background Sedentary behaviour has recently emerged as a unique risk factor for chronic
disease morbidity and mortality. One factor that may explain this relationship is visceral …
