Objective: To explore whether sedentary behaviour could modulate the association between overweight or obesity and chronic low back pain (CLBP).
Design: A retrospective cross-sectional study.
Setting And Participants: A total of 4289 participants in the US cohort from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were included.
Primary And Secondary Outcome Measures: CLBP was the outcome.
Results: After adjusting for confounding factors, an increased risk of CLBP was identified in people who were overweight (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.76) and obesity (OR 1.48, 95% CI 1.01 to 2.18). No significant association between sedentary behaviour time and CLBP was observed. In body mass index (BMI)<25 kg/m vs BMI≥30 kg/m group, sedentary behaviour time showed a modulatory effect on obesity and CLBP (p=0.047). In the sedentary behaviour time >4.5 hours group, the risk of CLBP was increased as BMI elevation, indicating sedentary behaviour time >4.5 hours played a modulatory role in the relationship between obesity and CLBP.
Conclusion: Obesity was significantly associated with an increased risk of CLBP, and sedentary behaviour time modulated the association between obesity and CLBP. The findings might provide a reference for the lifestyle modifications among individuals with obesity and reducing sedentary behaviour is recommended for this population.

Background: Obesity is increasing among Saudi adolescents, with rural females disproportionately underserved due to limited health education, sociocultural barriers, and scarce resources. While most school programs emphasize weight, global recommendations call for non-weight-centric approaches to avoid stigma. The Green Apple program is a school-based, weight-neutral intervention focusing on energy metabolism, nutrient balance, and dietary sources.

Background: The benefits of physical activity for frail older acutely hospitalized adults are becoming increasingly clear. To enhance opportunities for physical activity on geriatric wards, it is essential to understand the older adult's perspective.
Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of physical activity among older adults during hospital stays on a geriatric ward.

Background: Sedentary behavior (SB) and the absence of physical activity (PA) have become increasingly prevalent in modern societies due to changes in physical and social-environmental conditions, particularly in university students. This cross-sectional study aimed to describe and identify the prevalence and correlates of self-reported and accelerometer-determined SB and PA of German university students.
Methods: A convenience sample of 532 students participated in a questionnaire survey during the lecture period in the summer term 2018.

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).
