Association Between Relative Quadriceps Strength and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Older Adults: The Yangpyeong Cohort of the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study
CONCLUSIONS: Greater relative quadriceps strength is associated with reduced odds of T2DM in older adults after adjusting for potential confounders including body mass index.PMID:34697251 | DOI:10.1123/jpah.2021-0361

Associations Between Active Commuting and Cardiovascular Disease in the United States
CONCLUSION: Significant negative correlations were observed between active commuting and prevalence rates of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Controlling for covariates influenced these associations and highlights the need for future research to explore the potential of active commuting modes to reduce CVD in the United States.PMID:34689123 | DOI:10.1123/jpah.2021-0245

Associations of Objectively Measured Physical Activity and Sedentary Time with the Risk of Stroke, Myocardial Infarction or All-Cause Mortality in 70-Year-Old Men and Women: A Prospective Cohort Study
ConclusionObjectively measured LPA and MPA are each associated with lower risk of stroke, MI or all-cause mortality in 70-year-old individuals, while ST is associated with increased risk. The greatest risk reduction is observed for MPA, which also appears to attenuate some of the increased risks associated with ST.

Possible Consequences of Parathyroidectomy on Hypertension in Primary Hyperparathyroidism
When counseling patients regarding the potential benefits of parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), surgeons discuss the possible short-term and long-term consequences of operation. The short-term benefits may include alleviation of fatigue, bone aches, depressed mood, and frequent urination. While it is extremely rewarding to improve these symptoms, it is the long-term benefits that may be truly life-altering and potentially lifesaving. The organs most likely to be negatively affected by PHPT are the bones, kidneys, brain, and heart. Medical students everywhere still learn about the effects of this dise...

Factors associated with non-attendance at exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation
ConclusionsA distance greater than 16  km was associated with increased probability of non-attendance at exCR, as were smoking, a higher burden of comorbidities, and male sex. A better understanding of individual and structural factors can support the development of future rehabilitation services.

Daily Step Counts for Measuring Physical Activity Exposure and Its Relation to Health
Conclusions Daily step count is a readily accessible means by which to monitor and set physical activity goals. Recent evidence supports previously limited evidence of an inverse dose–response relationship of daily steps with important health outcomes, including all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, and type 2 diabetes. However, more independent studies will be required before these observations can be translated into public health guidelines.

The effect of mere measurement from a cardiovascular examination program on physical activity and sedentary time in an adult population
ConclusionsResults suggest an effect of measurements on PA and ST. Data of random-effects modelling results revealed an increase of transport-related PA after baseline to 1-month assessment. Decreases in overall ST may result from repeated assessments. A brief tailored letter intervention seemed to have no additional effect. Thus, measurement effects should be considered when planning intervention studies and interpreting intervention effects.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.govNCT02990039. Registered 7 December 2016. Retrospectively registered.

Worse Outcomes in Asymptomatic Redo-Carotid Endartectomy
Arhuidese et al compare primary carotid endartectomy (CEA) and redo CEA using the Society for Vascular Surgery Vascular Quality Initiative database. This large study compares 64  118 primary CEAs with 1369 redo CEAs, with the primary outcomes of stroke, death, myocardial infarction, stroke/death, and stroke/death/myocardial infarction at 30 days and at 1-year follow-up. The higher incidence of stroke, death, stroke/death, and stroke/death/ myocardial infarction in the asy mptomatic redo CEA group compared with the primary CEA group but not in the symptomatic patients is the primary finding in this study. This finding is ...
