Prospective Physical Activity, Sitting & Sleep Consortium: Pooling thigh-worn accelerometry studies to quantify how movement & posture impact adult health

[Nicholas Koemel @NKoemel]

Total daily steps are an important indicator of physical activity, but should we pick up the pace?

Exciting work now out in the @BJSM_BMJ highlighting the combined importance of daily stepping volume and intensity in relation to mortality risk

@Matthew_Ahmadi_ , @NKoemel latest work demonstrates the capacity of machine learning to harmoniously classify activities between wrist- and thigh-worn devices. They achieved >90% classification accuracy; a key step toward combining studies! See more:⌚️https://t.co/5vV53RuU7q

3/4 🔬The consortium is also leading innovation: Building the foundations for the next generation of wearable research through open source processing tools, federated analysis infrastructure, data linkage, advanced statistical methods and international scientific partnerships.

[ProPASS Consortium @ProPASSconsort]

2/4⌚The international community now recognises that wearables can capture physical behaviour with far greater detail and precision. ProPASS is spearheading this transition towards wearable-based evidence, bringing together 41 cohorts, n=276,940 participants from 5 continents🌍

[ProPASS Consortium @ProPASSconsort]

⌚!Out now!🌍 We discuss the past, present and future of the Prospective Physical Activity, Sitting and Sleep consortium (ProPASS) in our new extended Editorial in the British Journal of Sports Medicine @BJSM_BMJ.

[2/2] What counts as VILPA? We accumulate it in short bursts throughout the day: Stair climbing, fast walking, uphill bursts. These short bursts appear to add-up across the day to reduce the risk of many conditions, including T2-Diabetes @DrJohnChong

New evidence on short-bursts of activity and lower type 2 diabetes risk among non-exercises: A clear dose–response. Even ~4 min/day of vigorous intermittent lifestyle activity (VILPA) is linked to ~36% lower type 2 diabetes risk [1/2]

Do we need condition-specific PA guidelines? 🤔
Initial evidence differs depending on how PA is measured:
→ Self-report suggests higher minimum doses.
→ Devices reveal the benefits of even very low levels + dose-response📉

PhD opportunity 📢 : Use wearable tech to generate novel evidence on the health benefits of physical activity in low- and middle-income countries.

Help close global evidence gaps to help shape more equitable public health insights.

💡A New @NaturePortfolio commentary asks why physical activity hasn’t achieved the political priority of tobacco or alcohol control? What are the future hurdles facing the field? And, how can increasing global physical activity aid climate action efforts: https://t.co/NpjZIissw9

Are you a 'morning mover', accumulating your steps on your commute? Or do you leave it until the afternoon or evening? Interesting findings from The Maastricht Study reveal timing might make a difference for T2 Diabetes Mellitus: https://t.co/CuEJUtCzV7

Some recent PA papers broken down in @Nature . Using wearable-device data, they show how even small amounts of everyday movement are associated with meaningful health benefits- with the biggest gains at the low end - going from nothing to something). Read:https://t.co/VB4cFcnEPw

What tweaks can we make to our sleep, physical activity, and diet to live longer and healthier?

Our new study in @eClinicalMed shows that a daily
🛌+5 min sleep
🏃+2 min moderate to vigorous activity
🥦+½ serve vegetables

Added +1 year lifespan

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

Can small changes in physical activity make a major difference?

A new meta-analysis suggests that just five extra minutes of moderate physical activity a day is associated with a 10% reduction in all deaths in the majority of adults.
