Article Abstract
Body mass index (BMI) continues to be used as a marker of health due its strong correlation with adiposity and health. Physical activity (PA) has been shown to be favourably associated with a desirable BMI. Few studies have examined mode of PA participation across BMI indices with a mutually exclusive underweight BMI range. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between modes of PA and BMI. Data from the 2015 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System was analysed. Underweight, overweight, and obese BMI categories possessed 35, 20, and 46% lower odds of meeting current PA guidelines. The obese BMI group was found to have lower odds of meeting the aerobic only and strength only guidelines. Underweight, overweight, and obese groups possessed 63, 18, and 76% greater odds of meeting neither PA guideline, respectively.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Arrhythmias in Patients with Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, People's Republic of China.
Background: Cardiac arrhythmias are commonly seen in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), but their prevalence, risk factors, and prognostic significance are still not fully understood.
Objective: To estimate the prevalence of arrhythmias in patients with AECOPD, identify related clinical factors, and assess their influence on in-hospital mortality.
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CENTRAL, and Cochrane Reviews was conducted to identify observational studies and randomized controlled trials.

While observational studies have identified associations between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and laryngeal cancer (LC), the causal direction remains undetermined. This study employed a bidirectional 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach complemented by meta-analysis to investigate potential causal relationships between GERD and LC. Analysis leveraged publicly accessible genome-wide association study resources.

Observational studies have reported inconsistent links between tea intake and stroke risk. We applied two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to clarify whether the association is causal. Following STROBE-MR guidelines, we extracted genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for tea intake (UK Biobank, n = 447,485; GWAS ID ukb-b-6066) and stroke (UK Biobank, n = 462,933; GWAS ID ukb-b-6358), both of European ancestry.

Unlabelled: Among individuals aged ≥ 40 years old, we found that after controlling for age, sex, FMI, and tissue thickness, an increase of 1kg/m of ALMI is associated with an increase in TBS of 0.058, which is approximately half of one population standard deviation, or 4.7% of the average value for TBS.

Introduction: Prescription opioid dose reductions can raise the risk of adverse events for patients on long-term opioid therapy for non-cancer pain. Evidence on whether risks differ by age or sex is needed to support tailored clinical decision-making.
Methods: In 2024, a secondary analysis of an observational cohort study was conducted across 8 U.
