Forwarding link to the subject article in the December 5, 2008 MMWR [57(48);1297-1300] http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5748a1.htm?s_cid=mm5748a1_e Compliments of ... ********************************************* Center for Family and Community Health School of Public Health University of California, Berkeley http://cfch.berkeley.edu ( http://cfch.berkeley.edu/ ) A CDC Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Research ********************************************* Americans Are Active, But How Many Depends on Criteria Peggy Peck, MedPage Today, Dec 4, 2008 ATLANTA, Dec. 4 -- About two-thirds of adult Americans exercised the recommended minimum of 150 minutes a week last year, according to a CDC telephone survey. But when a stricter activity recommendation -- at least 30 minutes of moderate activity five or more days a week or 20 minutes of vigorous activity three times a week -- was applied, less than half of adults were classified as physically active, researchers reported in the Dec, 5 issue of Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report. The 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, which was released in October, recommend 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity a week or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity, with the added recommendation that aerobic activity should be performed in periods of at least 10 minutes spread throughout the week. The Healthy People 2010 objectives recommend a half hour of moderate activity at least five days a week or a vigorous 20-minute workout three times weekly. To gauge how well Americans were meeting those goals, the researchers looked at responses to the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey. That instrument asked 430,912 adults if they did moderate activity such as bike riding, brisk walking, housework, or gardening -- anything that caused an increased in heart rate -- for at least 10 minutes at a time when they were not working. Adults who answered Yes were asked how many days a week they engaged in such activities and about how long each time. On the basis of the responses to those questions, 64.5% of U.S. adults could be classified as physically active using the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans criteria compared with only 48.8% who met the more rigorous Healthy People 2010 objectives. The MMWR editors said there were two reasons to explain the discrepancy, and both had to do with where the bar was set. First, the "removal of the frequency duration requirement (i.e., 30 minutes of moderate activity, five days per week, or 20 minutes of vigorous activity, three days per week)." And second, "addition of criteria enabling respondents to meet the guidelines with a combination of moderate and vigorous activity." The CDC said the physical activity guidelines committee removed the frequency duration requirement after a review of published data that suggested there was no evidence to prove that 30 minutes a day, five days a week was superior to 50 minutes a day, three days a week -- or any other mix -- as long as the total was 150 minutes of exercise that included several 10-minute aerobic workouts. On the basis of the 2008 guidelines: * 68.9% of men and 60.4% of women were physically active in 2007. * People 65 or older were less likely to be active -- 51.2% -- than those who were 18 to 24, 74% of whom were classified as physically active. * Non-Hispanic blacks were less physically active (56.5%) than non-Hispanic whites (67.5% P 0.01). * Education was also a marker for physical activity -- 70.3% of college graduates were physically active versus 52.2% of high school dropouts. * People living in the West were more likely to be physically active than those living in the South (62.3% versus 67.8%). * And size mattered -- 68.8% of normal weight adults were physically active versus 57.1% of obese people and 67.3% of overweight individuals P 0.01). When the Healthy People objectives were applied, 50.7% of men and 47% of women were physically active. The MMWR editors noted that the findings have a number of limitations including the reliance on self-reporting, and the use of landline phones, which eliminated persons who use only cell phones or who have no access to a phone. Moreover, they said, the response rate was only 50.6%, which raises the possibility of response bias. === -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The RWJF Research Network to Prevent Obesity Among Latino Children Application Deadline: Feb. 6, 2009 Salud America! is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) that supports research on environmental and policy solutions to the epidemic of obesity among Latino children. The program also aims to develop a network of researchers whose findings will help identify the most promising obesity-prevention strategies specifically tailored for Latino communities. The specific objectives of this call for proposals (CFP) are to: increase the skills and experience of researchers who are working to reduce and prevent obesity among Latino children; and identify the most promising policy-relevant strategies to reduce and prevent obesity among Latino children. Investigators must propose a project in one of two general areas: 1) research that has strong potential to inform policy; or 2) the evaluation of an existing policy or program, its implementation or its impact. Both research and evaluation proposals must focus on one topic from the detailed lists included in the full CFP. More details and how to apply.
