Experiential or behavioral processes: Which one is prominent in physical activity? Examining the processes of change one year after an intervention of therapeutic education among adults with obesity
Obesity is recognized as a growing epidemic with the worldwide Body Mass Index (BMI) increasing by 0.5kg/m2 per decade since 1980 [1]. It is associated with increased total mortality and increased risks of disease or death from diabetes, ischemic heart disease and ischemic stroke, cancers, chronic kidney disease, and osteoarthritis [2]. Beneficial effects of physical activity (PA) on body weight and global health have now been clearly proven and besides diet and behavior therapy, PA is considered as a cornerstone of weight management for overweight/obese adults [3–5].

Diabetes, incretin hormones and cardioprotection
The diabetes pandemic In 2012 an estimated 371 million people had diabetes and of those about a half were undiagnosed. That number is set to expand to 552 million by 2030. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) constitutes 85–95% of all diabetes in high income nations and may account for an even greater proportion in their low and middle income counterparts (figure 1). As a global pandemic, diabetes claimed the lives of 4.8 million people in 2012, half of whom were below the age of 60 years.w1 The predominant cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetes is cardiovascular disease, with at least a twofold excess risk of ...

Network meta-analysis demonstrates the safety of pharmacotherapy for smoking cessation in cardiovascular patients
Commentary on: Mills EJ, Thorlund K, Eapen S, et al.. Cardiovascular events associated with smoking cessation pharmacotherapies: a network meta-analysis. Circulation 2014;129:28–41. Context The importance of smoking cessation in the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease cannot be overestimated. Exposure to tobacco products, beginning in utero, causes substantial damage to vascular health, imposing dramatic public and personal health burdens over a lifetime. Smokers lose, on average, 10 years of life expectancy.1 Smoking cessation is the most powerful preventive intervention available—particul...

Risk of dementia in elderly patients with the use of proton pump inhibitors
Abstract Drugs that modify the risk of dementia in the elderly are of potential interest for dementia prevention. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used to reduce gastric acid production, but information on the risk of dementia is lacking. We assessed association between the use of PPIs and the risk of dementia in elderly people. Data were derived from a longitudinal, multicenter cohort study in elderly primary care patients, the German Study on Aging, Cognition and Dementia in Primary Care Patients (AgeCoDe), including 3,327 community-dwelling persons aged ≥75 years. From follow-up 1 to follow-up 4 (fol...

Blood pressure measurements at emergency department visits by adults: United States, 2007-2008.
Authors: Niska RW Abstract This brief shows that elevated BP readings are much more common at visits to the ED than at visits to outpatient primary care providers. Compared with the 27.0% prevalence found at visits to primary care providers, the combined visit prevalence of severely and moderately elevated BP in EDs is about 43.5%. Disproportionately affected subgroups include patients who are older, male, non-Hispanic black, Medicare beneficiaries, or uninsured.One reason that elevated BP may be observed more frequently in the ED than at visits to primary care providers is that adults in less than optimal general ...

Cause-specific mortality by education in Canada: a 16-year follow-up study.
This study examines cause-specific mortality rates by education in a broadly representative sample of Canadians aged 25 or older. The data are from the 1991 to 2006 Canadian census mortality follow-up study, which included about 2.7 million people and 426,979 deaths. Age-standardized mortality rates (ASMRs) were calculated by education for different causes of death. Rate ratios, rate differences and excess mortality were also calculated. RESULTS: All-cause ASMRs were highest among people with less than secondary graduation and lowest for university degree-holders. If all cohort members had the mortality rates of those ...
