Thinking Health-related Behaviors in a Climate Change Context: A Narrative Review

Annals of Behavioral Medicine, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 57(3), P. 193 - 204

Published: July 21, 2022

Human activities have changed the environment so profoundly over past two centuries that human-induced climate change is now posing serious health-related threats to current and future generations. Rapid action from all scientific fields, including behavioral medicine, needed contribute both mitigation of, adaption to, change.This article aims identify potential bi-directional associations between impacts behaviors, as well a set of key actions for medicine community.We synthesized existing literature about (i) rising temperatures, extreme weather events, air pollution, sea level on individual behaviors (e.g., eating physical activity, sleep, substance use, preventive care) structural factors related these food system); (ii) concurrent positive negative roles can play in adaptation change.Based this review, we propose first conceptual model behavior feedback loops. Key are proposed, with particular consideration health equity implications interventions. Actions bridge fields sciences also discussed.We contend among most urgent issues facing scientists should become central priority community.

Accelerometer derived physical activity patterns in 27.890 middle‐aged adults: The SCAPIS cohort study

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 32(5), P. 866 - 880

Published: Jan. 26, 2022

The present study aims to describe accelerometer-assessed physical activity (PA) patterns and fulfillment of PA recommendations in a large sample middle-aged men women, differences between subgroups socio-demographic, socio-economic, lifestyle-related variables. A total 27 890 (92.5% participants, 52% aged 50-64 years) women with at least four days valid hip-worn accelerometer data (Actigraph GT3X+, wGT3X+ wGT3X-BT) from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study, SCAPIS, were included. In total, 54.5% daily wear time was spent sedentary, 39.1% low, 5.4% moderate, only 0.1% vigorous PA.

Association Between 24-Hour Movement Guideline and Physical, Verbal, and Relational Forms of Bullying Among Chinese Adolescents

Asia Pacific Journal of Public Health, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 35(2-3), P. 168 - 174

The Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth recommends specific guidance in physical activity, screen time, sleep duration. current research will further explore potential exposures between healthy movement being involved a bullying incident as bully or victim representative sample of adolescents China. A total 67 821 Chinese students (response rate = 98.4%) were included this study (mean age 13.04 years). results showed that meeting recommendation only, time both these two recommendations might be protective factors against bullied others. Meeting moderate-to-vigorous activity (MVPA) only reported higher odds victims all forms while MVPA another combination the guideline would relate to lower bully-victim involvement.

Urban Spatial Heat Resilience Indicator Based on Running Activity Z-Score

Urban Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 9(2), P. 34 - 34

Published: Feb. 5, 2025

The assessment of urban heat resilience has become crucial due to increasing extreme weather events. This study introduces the Running Activity Z-score (RAZ) index based on running activity trajectory data evaluate resilience. Through a case an August 2022 heatwave in Beijing, we examined index’s sensitivity and explored its spatial relationships with key built environment factors, including plot ratio, green coverage, population density, blue space proximity. Our results reveal two findings: (1) RAZ serves as effective real-time, high-precision indicator impacts, evidenced by extremely low values consistently coinciding periods, (2) offers valuable insights for identifying potential areas supporting planning decisions, demonstrated significant correlations factors that align previous studies while uncovering more detailed relationships. Although effectively complements traditional measurement methods, application requires careful consideration external such social dynamics climate variability.

Weather associations with physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep patterns of Australian adults: a longitudinal study with implications for climate change

International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 20(1)

Published: March 14, 2023

Abstract Background Weather is a potentially important influence on how time allocated to sleep, sedentary behaviour and physical activity across the 24-h day. Extremes of weather (very hot, cold, windy or wet) can create undesirable, unsafe outdoor environments for exercise active transport, impact comfort sleeping environments, increase indoors. This 13-month prospective cohort study explored associations between movement patterns. Methods Three hundred sixty-eight adults (mean age 40.2 years, SD 5.9, 56.8% female) from Adelaide, Australia, wore Fitbit Charge 3 trackers 24 h day 13 months with minute-by-minute data behaviour, light (LPA), moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) collected remotely. Daily included temperature, rainfall, wind, cloud sunshine. Multi-level mixed-effects linear regression analyses (one model per outcome) were used. Results Ninety thousand eight one days analysed.
