Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to quantify the association between step count and multiple health outcomes in a healthy population. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library were systematically searched for systematic reviews and meta-analyses from inception to April 1, 2022. Literature screening, data extraction, and data analysis were performed in this umbrella review. The intervention factor was daily step counts measured based on devices. Multiple health outcomes included metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, all-cause mortality, and other outcomes in the healthy population. RESULTS Twenty studies with 94 outcomes were identified in this umbrella review. The increase in daily step count contributed to a range of human health outcomes. Furthermore, the special population, different age groups, countries, and cohorts should be carefully considered. Negative correlation between step counts and the following outcomes: metabolic outcomes, cardiovascular diseases, all-cause mortality, postural balance, cognitive function, and mental health. However, there was no association between participation in the outdoor walking group and the improvement of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. Analysis of the dose-response association between increasing daily step count and the risk of cardiovascular disease events and all-cause mortality showed a substantially linear relationship. CONCLUSION A wide range of health outcomes can benefit from the right number of steps.

Explanatory variables of objectively measured 24-h movement behaviors in people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes: A systematic review. Diabetes Metab Syndr 2024; 18:102995. [PMID: 38583307 DOI: 10.1016/j.dsx.2024.102995] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
AIM Physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB) and sleep (i.e. 24-h movement behaviors) are associated with health indicators in people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D). To optimize 24-h movement behaviors, it is crucial to identify explanatory variables related to these behaviors. This review aimed to summarize the explanatory variables of 24-h movement behaviors in people with prediabetes or T2D. METHODS A systematic search of four databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus & Embase) was performed. Only objective measurements of 24-h movement behaviors were included in the search strategy. The explanatory variables were classified according to the levels of the socio-ecological model (i.e. intrapersonal, interpersonal and environmental). The risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute appraisal checklist. RESULTS None of the 78 included studies investigated 24-h movement behaviors. The majority of the studies investigated PA in isolation. Most studied explanatory variables were situated at the intrapersonal level. Being male was associated with more moderate to vigorous PA but less light PA in people with T2D, and more total PA in people with prediabetes. An older age was associated with a decrease in all levels of PA in people with T2D. HbA1c was positively associated with sleep and SB in both groups. No associations were found at the interpersonal or environmental level. CONCLUSION The results of this review underscore the lack of a socio-ecological approach toward explanatory variables of 24-h movement behaviors and the lack of focus on an integrated 24-h movement behavior approach in both populations.

BMC Geriatr 2024; 24:14. [PMID: 38178031 PMCID: PMC10768207 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-023-04600-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The trajectories of cognitive function in the oldest old individuals is unclear, and the relationship between resting heart rate (RHR) and cognitive decline is controversial. METHODS 3300 participants who had cognitive function repeatedly measured 4 ~ 8 times were included, and latent class growth mixed models were used to identified the cognitive function trajectories. Cognitive decline was defined by the trajectory shapes, considering level and slope. After excluding individuals with sinus rhythm abnormal, 3109 subjects were remained and were divided into five groups by their RHR. Logistic regression models were used to estimate the relationship between RHR and cognitive decline. RESULTS Three distinct cognitive function trajectory groups were identified: high-stable (n = 1226), medium-decreasing (n = 1526), and rapid-decreasing (n = 357). Individuals of medium/rapid-decreasing group were defined as cognitive decline. Adjusting for covariates, the odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) of RHR sub-groups were 1.19 (0.69, 2.05), 1.27 (1.03, 1.56), 1.30 (1.01, 1.67) and 1.62 (1.07, 2.47) for those RHR < 60 bpm, 70 ~ 79 bpm, 80 ~ 89 bpm and > 90 bpm respectively, compared with those RHR 60 ~ 69 bpm. The interaction effect between RHR and physical activity (PA) on cognitive decline was found, and stratification analysis was presented that higher RHR would only show risk effects on cognitive decline in those with physical inactivity (P < 0.05 for all). CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates RHR more than 70 bpm present significant risk effect on cognitive decline, and this relationship is modified by PA. Elder population with physical inactivity and higher RHR should be paid more attention to prevent cognitive decline.

Abstract
Cognitive impairment and dementia are burgeoning public health concerns, especially given the increasing longevity of the global population. These conditions not only affect the quality of life of individuals and their families, but also pose significant economic burdens on healthcare systems. In this context, our comprehensive narrative review critically examines the role of nutritional supplements in mitigating cognitive decline. Amidst growing interest in non-pharmacological interventions for cognitive enhancement, this review delves into the efficacy of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other dietary supplements. Through a systematic evaluation of randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and meta-analysis, this review focuses on outcomes such as memory enhancement, attention improvement, executive function support, and neuroprotection. The findings suggest a complex interplay between nutritional supplementation and cognitive health, with some supplements showing promising results and others displaying limited or context-dependent effectiveness. The review highlights the importance of dosage, bioavailability, and individual differences in response to supplementation. Additionally, it addresses safety concerns and potential interactions with conventional treatments. By providing a clear overview of current scientific knowledge, this review aims to guide healthcare professionals and researchers in making informed decisions about the use of nutritional supplements for cognitive health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Brain atrophy has been consistently associated with type 2 diabetes, beginning in early stages of dysglycemia, independently from micro and macrovascular complications. On the contrary, physical activity relates with larger brain volumes. Our aim is to assess the influence of regular physical activity on brain volumes in people with type 2 diabetes. METHODS A cross-sectional multimodal evaluation with 3T MRI was performed on 170 individuals: 85 individuals with type 2 diabetes and 85 controls. They underwent clinical examination, blood sampling and 3T MRI. Brain volumes (mm3) were estimated using FreeSurfer 7. Physical activity duration was self-reported by the participants as the number of hours of physical activity per week for at least the previous 6 months. Statistical analysis was performed with IBM SPSS 27. RESULTS People with type 2 diabetes had significantly lower cortical and subcortical volumes, adjusted for age and individual intracranial volume, comparing to controls. Regression analysis showed that within type 2 diabetes group, lower gray matter volumes were associated with lesser physical activity duration (hours/week), independently from HbA1c. Moreover, there were significant moderate positive correlations between regular physical activity duration and gray matter volumes of cortical and subcortical subregions, specifically in the diabetes group. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals a putative beneficial effect of regular physical activity independently of glycemic control, as assessed by HbA1c, which might contribute to reduce the negative impact of type 2 diabetes in the brain.

Physical activity, memory function, and hippocampal volume in adults with Down syndrome. Front Integr Neurosci 2022; 16:919711.

Abstract
Higher engagement in moderate-intensity physical activity (PA) is related to better cognitive functioning in neurotypical adults; however, little is known about the effect of PA on cognitive aging in adults with Down syndrome (DS). Individuals with DS have three copies of chromosome 21, which includes the gene involved in the production of the amyloid precursor protein, resulting in an increased risk for an earlier onset of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The goal of this study was to understand the relationship between engagement in moderate PA, memory, and hippocampal volume in adults with DS. Adults with DS participated in an ancillary Lifestyle study linked to the Alzheimer’s Biomarkers Consortium for DS (ABC- DS; N = 71). A within-sample z-score memory composite was created from performance on the Cued Recall Test (CRT) and the Rivermead Picture Recognition Test. Participants wore a wrist-worn accelerometer (GT9X) to measure PA. Variables of interest included the average percentage of time spent in moderate PA and average daily steps. Structural MRI data were acquired within 18 months of actigraphy/cognitive data collection for a subset of participants (n = 54). Hippocampal volume was extracted using Freesurfer v5.3. Associations between moderate PA engagement, memory, and hippocampal volume were evaluated with hierarchical linear regressions controlling for relevant covariates [age, body mass index, intellectual disability level, sex, and intracranial volume]. Participants were 37.77 years old (SD = 8.21) and were 55.6% female. They spent 11.1% of their time engaged in moderate PA (SD = 7.5%) and took an average of 12,096.51 daily steps (SD = 4,315.66). After controlling for relevant covariates, higher memory composite score was associated with greater moderate PA engagement (β = 0.232, p = 0.027) and more daily steps (β = 0.209, p = 0.037). In a subset of participants, after controlling for relevant covariates, PA variables were not significantly associated with the hippocampal volume (all p-values ≥ 0.42). Greater hippocampal volume was associated with higher memory composite score after controlling for relevant covariates (β = 0.316, p = 0.017). More PA engagement was related to better memory function in adults with DS. While greater hippocampal volume was related to better memory performance, it was not associated with PA. Greater PA engagement may be a promising lifestyle behavior to preserve memory in adults with DS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There has been a growing interest towards cognitive-training programmes to improve cognition and prevent cognitive impairment despite discrepant findings. Physical activity has been recognised in maintaining or improving cognitive ability. Based on a psychoneurophysiological approach, physiological indexes should partly determine neuronal dynamics and influence cognition as any effects of cognitive training. This study's primary aim was to examine if improved physiological indexes predict improved cognitive variables in the context of a clinical intervention programme for type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHOD AND ANALYSIS PhyCog will be a 22-week randomised controlled trial comparing cognitive performance between three arms: (1) physical activity (1 month), a 15-day wash-out, then cognitive training (1 month), (2) cognitive training (1 month), a 15-day wash-out and physical activity (1 month), and (3) an active breathing condition (psychoeducation and resonance frequency breathing for 1 month), then a 15-day wash-out, and combined physical activity and cognitive training (1 month), allowing to determine the most effective intervention to prevent cognitive impairment associated with T2D. All participants will be observed for 3 months following the intervention. The study will include a total of 81 patients with T2D.Cognitive performance and physiological variables will be assessed at baseline (week 0-W0), during the washout (W5, 72-96 hours after week 4), at the end of the intervention (W10), and at the end of the follow-up (W22). The main variables of interest will be executive function, memory and attention. Physiological testing will involve allostatic load such as heart rate variability, microcirculation, cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels. Sociodemographic and body composition will also be a consideration. Assessors will all be blinded to outcomes. To test the primary hypothesis, the relationship between improvement in physiological variables and improvement in cognitive variables (executive, memory and attention) will be collected. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This protocol was approved by the Est III French Ethics Committee (2020-A03228-31). Results will be published in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04915339.
