Article Abstract
Background: Given the inconsistent findings of the association between frailty and sedentary behavior in older adults, this cross-sectional study investigated the aforementioned association using four different frailty criteria and two sedentary behavior indices in older adults.
Methods: Data from older adults (age ≥ 65 y) who participated in health examinations or attended outpatient integrated clinics at a medical center in Taipei, Taiwan, were collected. Frailty was measured using the modified Fried Frailty Phenotype (mFFP), Clinical Frailty Scale in Chinese Translation (CFS-C), Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF) index, and Clinical Frailty-Deficit Count (CF-DC) index; sedentary behavior was assessed with a waist-worn accelerometer. Adjusted linear regression ascertained the association between frailty and both sedentary behavior outcomes.
Results: Among the 214 participants (mean age 80.82 ± 7.14 y), 116 were women. The average total sedentary time and number of sedentary bouts were 609.74 ± 79.29 min and 5.51 ± 2.09 times per day, respectively. Frail participants had a longer total sedentary time (odds ratio [OR]: 30.13, P = .01 and 39.43, P < .001) and more sedentary bouts (OR: 3.50 and 5.86, both P < .001) on mFFP and CFS-C assessments, respectively. The SOF index revealed more sedentary bouts among frail than in robust participants (OR: 2.06, P = .009), without a significant difference in the total sedentary time. Frail participants defined by the CF-DC index were more likely to have frequent sedentary bouts (OR: 2.03, P = .016), but did not have a longer total sedentary time.
Conclusions: Regardless of the frailty criteria adopted, frailty was positively associated with the number of sedentary bouts per day in older adults. A significant correlation between frailty and total sedentary time was detected only with mFFP and CFS-C indices. Further research may target decreasing the sedentary bouts in older adults as a strategy to improve frailty.

Sarcopenia, a growing public health concern lacking targeted therapies, highlights the need to investigate modifiable factors like physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior, which influence muscle health. However, most research focuses on older adults, with limited data on young and middle-aged populations. This study leverages the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data to investigate this topic in the US population aged 18 to 59 to address this critical gap.

Unlabelled: The objective of this study is to analyze adherence to 24-h movement behavior recommendations (combined and isolated) with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in adolescents. For this cross-sectional study, 155 adolescents were recruited, of whom 141 participated; 118 with valid data were analyzed (64 girls, mean age 14.9 years).

Introduction: To examine the association of the number of controlled risk factors with the excess risk of severe metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and major adverse liver outcomes (MALO) among patients with type 2 diabetes.
Research Design And Methods: In this cohort study, a total of 307,688 participants from the UK Biobank were included. Participants with baseline type 2 diabetes were categorized according to the number of risk factors within the guideline-recommended ranges (diet, smoking, drinking, exercise, sedentary behavior, body mass index, glycated hemoglobin, blood pressure, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol).

Background: Obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are both associated with sedentary behavior. However, the role that sedentary behavior plays in the relationship between obesity and CVD in patients with diabetes remains unclear. This study aimed to examine how the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) relates to CVD risk in patients with diabetes and to explore sedentary behavior's potential mediating role in this relationship.

Background: Physical activity during pregnancy is thought to influence birth outcomes, but its association with it is not fully understood. We aimed to examine the association of sedentary behavior during pregnancy with preterm birth and infant adiposity measured at birth, 14 weeks, and one year of age.
Methods: In this cohort study, physical activity during pregnancy was assessed using the physical activity questionnaire.
