Hypertension and physical inactivity are leading causes of premature mortality. While both
are modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease, their prevalence remains high. As …

Background This study examined the independent relationships of device‐based measured
sedentary time (ST) and physical activity (PA) in relation to cardiac structural and functional …

This study examined the mediating effect of total body fat mass, lean mass, blood pressure
(BP) and insulin resistance on the associations of sedentary time (ST), light physical activity …

Aims We examined the longitudinal associations of sedentary time (ST), light physical
activity (LPA), and moderate‐to‐vigorous PA (MVPA) from childhood with carotid‐femoral …

Aims Accurate staging of hypertension-related cardiac changes, before the development of
significant left ventricular hypertrophy, could help guide early prevention advice. We …

Background Randomized controlled trials have reported no effect of moderate‐to‐vigorous
physical activity (MVPA) on reducing blood pressure (BP) in youth, probably due to short trial …

Rationale: Premature birth is an independent predictor of long-term cardiovascular risk.
Individuals affected are reported to have a lower rate of V˙ o2 at peak exercise intensity (V˙ …

Importance Cerebrovascular changes are already evident in young adults with hypertension
and exercise is recommended to reduce cardiovascular risk. To what extent exercise …

The aetiology of preterm cardiovascular disease formation appears different from that of
traditional population. Within the 'traditional'population cardiovascular disease formation is …

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been on the rise worldwide, contributing to an increase in
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The components of the MetS such as diabetes …
