Article Abstract
Purpose: To investigate whether the willingness to exercise (WTE) and exercise habits affect the incidence of disability among older adults.
Methods: This study included 8,354 individuals (72.5 ± 6.2 years, 55.9% female). The participants were divided into three categories based on their WTE: unwillingness to exercise, willingness to exercise (but without exercise habits), and exercise habits. The incidence of disability was prospectively determined within 24 months of the follow-up. Cox regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between WTE and the incidence of disability.
Results: Overall, 600 (7.2%), 4,703 (56.3%), and 3,051 (36.5%) participants were classified as unwillingness to exercise, willingness to exercise, and exercise habits, respectively. Compared with the unwillingness to exercise group, the willingness to exercise group (hazard ratio [HR] 0.71, 95%Confidence Interval [CI] 0.52-0.96) and the exercise habits group (HR 0.65, 95%CI 0.46-0.92) had a lower risk of disability incidence.
Conclusions: These results suggest that WTE reduces the risk of disability in older adults. Therefore, the importance of increasing WTE to prevent the occurrence of disabilities is clear. Our results suggest that even though physical activity declines with age, it is important to have the desire to exercise and develop exercise habits.

Intra-familial weight stigma is a subtle yet impactful dynamic that may influence the outcomes of family-based interventions aimed at treating childhood obesity. While much attention has been paid to societal and peer-related weight stigma, less focus has been placed on how stigma manifests within families. This position statement highlights the importance of recognising that such stigma can unintentionally arise in the home.

Objective: To establish and validate a nomogram model for the quality of sleep in patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and to evaluate its performance.
Methods: From January 2023 to June 2023, 484 RIF patients who underwent ART fertilization treatment at the Reproductive Medicine Center of Tongji University-affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital were selected as the modeling set and internal validation. Additionally, from July to September 2023, 223 RIF patients who underwent ART fertilization treatment at the Reproductive Medicine Center of Tongji University-affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital were chosen as the external validation set.
Development of the Multidimensional Inventory of Physical Activity Identity.

Identity is among the most robust psychological constructs for predicting whether individuals translate physical activity (PA) intentions into action. However, existing identity measures in the PA domain focus narrowly on exercise and largely adopt limited unidimensional conceptualizations. This study aimed to develop and validate the Multidimensional Inventory of Physical Activity Identity (MIPAI-25), a novel instrument grounded in a multidimensional, theoretically integrated framework.

Background: Exercise addiction often coexists with eating disorders and extreme dietary habits. It has remained unclear whether restrained eating, the most common maladaptive behavior in eating disorders, is associated with exercise addiction and whether some common psychological factors will affect their relationship. This study aimed to explore the interplay among restrained eating, exercise addiction, social physique anxiety, and grit.
