Objective: This study investigated the association of work-related sedentary behavior with mental health and work engagement among white- and blue-collar workers.
Methods: An Internet survey was conducted among 1600 workers aged 20 to 59 years. A total of 1213 valid responses were analyzed to examine the association of work-related sedentary behavior with mental health and work engagement.
Results: Higher level of occupational sedentary behavior significantly associated with poorer mental health and lower work engagement among white-collar workers. Considering the effect of occupation, association of sedentary behavior with mental health disappeared, whereas association with work engagement remained for white-collar workers.
Conclusions: Our result suggested the importance of decreasing work-related sedentary behavior for enhancing work engagement regardless of the occupation for white-collar workers. Further study is needed to confirm the association between these variables for blue-collar workers.

Purpose: To investigate the associations between different physical activity patterns, including "weekend warrior" (WW) (i.e. most weekly moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) achieved over 1-2 days)) and regular (MVPA spread more evenly) patterns with the risk of incident cancers.

Physical activity (PA) is a fundamental aspect of preventive medicine, offering profound benefits for cardiovascular health and overall well-being. Despite its widespread benefits, the molecular mechanisms underlying PA-induced improvements in microvascular functions remain poorly understood. The skin microvasculature is uniquely affected by exercise-induced shear stress, especially during thermoregulation.

This study investigated the prospective associations between changes in 24-h movement behaviors and physical fitness (PF) components in preschool children; and examined how the reallocation of time between movement behaviours was associated with longitudinal changes in PF. This is a two-year longitudinal study of 200 Chinese children aged 3-4 years old. At baseline and follow-up, 24-h movement behaviors including moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light physical activity (LPA), screen-based sedentary behavior (SSB), non-screen-based sedentary behavior (NSB), and sleep were assessed.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and multiple sclerosis (MS), while affecting metabolic and neurological systems respectively, share convergent immunometabolic pathways. This review synthesizes recent evidence elucidating overlapping mechanisms linking DM and MS, emphasizing metabolic dysfunction and systemic inflammation, with therapeutic potential of lifestyle interventions alongside pharmacotherapy. A comprehensive literature analysis examined shared pathogenesis through recent studies.
