Abstract

Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) are major contributors to escalating health care costs in the USA. Physical activity is an important protective factor against CVD, and the National Prevention Strategy recognizes active living (defined as a way of life that integrates physical activity into everyday routines) as a priority for improving the nation’s health. This paper focuses on developing more inclusive measures of physical activity in outdoor community recreational environments, specifically parks and trails, to enhance their usability for at-risk populations such as persons with mobility limitations. We develop an integrated conceptual framework for measuring physical activity in outdoor community recreational environments, describe examples of evidence-based tools for measuring physical activity in these settings, and discuss strategies to improve measurement of physical activity for persons with mobility limitations. Addressing these measurement issues is critically important to making progress towards national CVD goals pertaining to active community environments.

This cross-sectional study found that walking was independently associated with both perceived neighborhood safety (questionnaire reported) and police-reported crime (including total and outdoor incivilities, criminal offenses, homicides) among participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis living in Chicago. Lower police-reported outdoor crime and higher perceived safety were associated with walking for transportation, and lower perceived violence was associated with leisure walking. The findings suggest that both perceived and objective measures of safety should be considered when assessing the effect of neighborhood safety on physical activity. This is one of the most comprehensive objective measures of neighborhood safety in the physical activity literature to date, allowing evaluation specifically of crimes occurring outdoors.CrossRef Evenson K.

Using a notably comprehensive design that included direct observation of park users (SOPARC), interviews with park users and a random sample of nearby residents, and documentation of park management and programing in neighborhood parks, the authors found that parks in high-poverty areas were used least. Controlling for size, staffing, and programming differences did not alter the pattern of results. However, higher park use was associated with having a larger park staff, and more organized and supervised programs suggesting that these might be effective strategies to increase park use in high-poverty areas.PubMedCentralPubMedCrossRef Cohen DA.

„Jeder Fall von plötzlichem Tod muss obduziert werden!“

17.05.2024 Plötzlicher Herztod Nachrichten

Ein signifikanter Anteil der Fälle von plötzlichem Herztod ist genetisch bedingt. Um ihre Verwandten vor diesem Schicksal zu bewahren, sollten jüngere Personen, die plötzlich unerwartet versterben, ausnahmslos einer Autopsie unterzogen werden.

Hirnblutung unter DOAK und VKA ähnlich bedrohlich

17.05.2024 Direkte orale Antikoagulanzien Nachrichten

Kommt es zu einer nichttraumatischen Hirnblutung, spielt es keine große Rolle, ob die Betroffenen zuvor direkt wirksame orale Antikoagulanzien oder Marcumar bekommen haben: Die Prognose ist ähnlich schlecht.

Schlechtere Vorhofflimmern-Prognose bei kleinem linken Ventrikel

17.05.2024 Vorhofflimmern Nachrichten

Nicht nur ein vergrößerter, sondern auch ein kleiner linker Ventrikel ist bei Vorhofflimmern mit einer erhöhten Komplikationsrate assoziiert. Der Zusammenhang besteht nach Daten aus China unabhängig von anderen Risikofaktoren.

Semaglutid bei Herzinsuffizienz: Wie erklärt sich die Wirksamkeit?

17.05.2024 Herzinsuffizienz Nachrichten

Bei adipösen Patienten mit Herzinsuffizienz des HFpEF-Phänotyps ist Semaglutid von symptomatischem Nutzen. Resultiert dieser Benefit allein aus der Gewichtsreduktion oder auch aus spezifischen Effekten auf die Herzinsuffizienz-Pathogenese? Eine neue Analyse gibt Aufschluss.
