promoting Regular Physical Activity in pulmonary rehabilitation
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2014Co-Authors: Judith Garciaaymerich, Fabio PittaAbstract:Patients with chronic respiratory diseases are usually Physically inactive, which is an important negative prognostic factor. Therefore, promoting Regular Physical Activity is of key importance in reducing morbidity and mortality and improving the quality of life in this population. A current challenge to pulmonary rehabilitation is the need to develop strategies that induce or facilitate the enhancement of daily levels of Physical Activity. Because exercise training alone, despite improving exercise capacity, does not consistently generate similar improvements in Physical Activity in daily life, there is also a need to develop behavioral interventions that help to promote Activity.

Respiratory Medicine, 2011Co-Authors: Marta Benet, Raphaelle Varraso, Francine Kauffmann, Isabelle Romieu, Josep M Anto, Francoise Clavelchapelon, Judith GarciaaymerichAbstract:Summary Background Potential benefit of Physical Activity in asthma incidence is scarce and controversial. We aimed to assess the association between Regular Physical Activity and adult-onset asthma. Methods We included 51,080 women from a French cohort study, and followed them from 1993 to 2003. Physical Activity at baseline was defined as time spent in household and leisure time Physical Activity, converted to metabolic equivalents (METs), and categorised in tertiles. Adult-onset asthma during follow-up was defined according to the American Thoracic Society criteria. Results Mean age at baseline was 53 years, 13% of women were current smokers, 19% were overweight or obese, and 56% were postmenopausal; 512 (1%) developed asthma. No association was found between Physical Activity and asthma incidence in the crude or in the adjusted Cox regression model (adjusted HR 1.03 and 1.01 for the 2nd and 3rd tertiles compared to the 1st tertile, p for trend = 0.979). Conclusion Physical Activity is not related to adult-onset asthma in this cohort of French middle-aged women.

Regular Physical Activity modifies smoking related lung function decline and reduces risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease a population based cohort study
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2007Co-Authors: Judith Garciaaymerich, Marta Benet, Peter Lange, Peter Schnohr, Josep M AntoAbstract:Rationale: We have previously reported that Regular Physical Activity reduces risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation. We hypothesized that higher levels of Regular Physical Activity could reduce the risk of COPD by modifying smoking-related lung function decline.Objective: To estimate the longitudinal association between Regular Physical Activity and FEV1 and FVC decline and COPD risk.Methods: A population-based sample (n = 6,790) was recruited and assessed with respect to Physical Activity, smoking, lung function, and other covariates, in Copenhagen in 1981–1983, and followed until 1991–1994. Mean level of Physical Activity between baseline and follow-up was classified into “low,” “moderate,” and “high.” FEV1 and FVC decline rates were expressed as milliliters per year. COPD was defined as FEV1/FVC ⩽ 70%. Adjusted associations between Physical Activity and FEV1 and FVC decline, and COPD incidence, were obtained using linear and logistic regression, respectively.Results: Active ...

Regular Physical Activity reduces hospital admission and mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease a population based cohort study
Thorax, 2006Co-Authors: Judith Garciaaymerich, Marta Benet, Peter Lange, Peter Schnohr, Josep M AntoAbstract:Background: Information about the influence of Regular Physical Activity on the course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is scarce. A study was undertaken to examine the association between Regular Physical Activity and both hospital admissions for COPD and all-cause and specific mortality in COPD subjects. Methods: From a population-based sample recruited in Copenhagen in 1981–3 and 1991–4, 2386 individuals with COPD (according to lung function tests) were identified and followed until 2000. Self-reported Regular Physical Activity at baseline was classified into four categories (very low, low, moderate, and high). Dates and causes of hospital admissions and mortality were obtained from Danish registers. Adjusted associations between Physical Activity and hospital admissions for COPD and mortality were obtained using negative binomial and Cox regression models, respectively. Results: After adjustment for relevant confounders, subjects reporting low, moderate or high Physical Activity had a lower risk of hospital admission for COPD during the follow up period than those who reported very low Physical Activity (incidence rate ratio 0.72, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.53 to 0.97). Low, moderate and high levels of Regular Physical Activity were associated with an adjusted lower risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio (HR) 0.76, 95% CI 0.65 to 0.90) and respiratory mortality (HR 0.70, 95% CI 0.48 to 1.02). No effect modification was found for sex, age group, COPD severity, or a background of ischaemic heart disease. Conclusions: Subjects with COPD who perform some level of Regular Physical Activity have a lower risk of both COPD admissions and mortality. The recommendation that COPD patients be encouraged to maintain or increase their levels of Regular Physical Activity should be considered in future COPD guidelines, since it is likely to result in a relevant public health benefit.

hunger control and Regular Physical Activity facilitate weight loss after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding
Obesity Surgery, 2008Co-Authors: Susan Leigh Colles, John Dixon, Paul E ObrienAbstract:Background Bariatric surgery facilitates substantial and durable weight loss; however, outcomes vary. In addition to physiological and technical factors, weight loss efficacy is dependent on modification of behavior to maintain a long-term change in energy balance. This study aimed to assess the extent and nature of change in energy intake and Physical Activity and identify factors associated with percentage weight loss (%WL) 12 months after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB).

In addition to physiological and technical factors, weight loss efficacy is dependent on modification of behavior to maintain a long-term change in energy balance. This study aimed to assess the extent and nature of change in energy intake and Physical Activity and identify factors associated with percentage weight loss (%WL) 12 months after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB). 129 bariatric surgery candidates (26 men/103 women, mean age 45.2 ± 11.5, mean body mass index [BMI] 44.3 ± 6.8, range 31.9 to 66.7) completed the study. Data were collected at baseline and 12 months. Validated questionnaires included the Cancer Council Victoria Food Frequency Questionnaire, Three Factor Eating Questionnaire, Short Form-36, Baecke Physical Activity Questionnaire, and Beck Depression Inventory. Symptoms of “non-hungry eating,” “emotional eating,” and “grazing” were assessed. Mean %WL was 20.8 ± 8.5%, and excess weight loss was 50.0 ± 20.7 (p < 0.001). Mean total energy intake reduced from 9,991 ± 3,986 kj to 4,077 ± 1,493 kj (p < 0.001). Average leisure time and sport-related Physical Activity scores increased (both p < 0.001). Regression analysis identified baseline BMI (β = 0.241; p = 0.002), subjective hunger (β = −0.275; p = 0.001), Physical function (β = 0.309; p < 0.001), and leisure time Physical Activity (β = 0.213; p = 0.010) as independent predictors of %WL, total R 2 0.34%. “Non-hungry eating” and symptoms of depression were also related to poorer %WL. LAGB affects marked behavior change and facilitates substantial weight loss in the first 12 months. However, variations in adopted behaviors can affect energy balance and weight loss success. Achievement and maintenance of favorable behaviors should be an important consideration during on-going postsurgical review and counseling. Management should include adequate band adjustment to control Physical hunger, optimization of Physical function and Activity, and reinforcement of strategies to reduce energy intake.

Regular Physical Activity levels and incidence of restrictive spirometry pattern a longitudinal analysis of two population based cohorts
American Journal of Epidemiology, 2020Co-Authors: Anneelie Carsin, Dirk Keidel, Elaine Fuertes, Medea Imboden, Joost Weyler, Dennis Nowak, Joachim Heinrich, Silvia Pascual ErquiciaAbstract:We estimated the association between Regular Physical Activity and the incidence of restrictive spirometry pattern. Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and Physical Activity were assessed in 2 population-based European cohorts (European Community Respiratory Health Survey: n = 2,757, aged 39-67 years; and Swiss Study on Air Pollution and Lung and Heart Diseases in Adults: n = 2,610, aged 36-82 years) first in 2000-2002 and again approximately 10 years later (2010-2013). Subjects with restrictive or obstructive spirometry pattern at baseline were excluded. We assessed the association of being active at baseline (defined as being Physically active at least 2-3 times/week for ≥1 hour) with restrictive spirometry pattern at follow-up (defined as a postbronchodilation FEV1/FVC ratio of at least the lower limit of normal and FVC of <80% predicted) using modified Poisson regression, adjusting for relevant confounders. After 10 years of follow-up, 3.3% of participants had developed restrictive spirometry pattern. Being Physically active was associated with a lower risk of developing this phenotype (relative risk = 0.76, 95% confidence interval: 0.59, 0.98). This association was stronger among those who were overweight and obese than among those of normal weight (P for interaction = 0.06). In 2 large European studies, adults practicing Regular Physical Activity were at lower risk of developing restrictive spirometry pattern over 10 years.
