Insulin Responsiveness

The effects of daily physical activity on peripheral insulin action were investigated in aged individuals. Glucose infusion rates (GIR) during the euglycemic insulin clamp procedure in aged bedridden, aged controls, and aged athletes were compared with those in young controls and young athletes at insulin infusion rates of 40 and 400 mU.m-2.min-1 to estimate insulin action at physiological and maximal insulin concentrations, respectively. At both insulin infusion rates, GIR was significantly higher in aged athletes and significantly lower in aged bedridden subjects than in aged controls. Although there was no statistical difference in GIR at 400 mU.m-2 x min-1 between young athletes and young controls, GIR at 40 mU.m-2 x min-1 was higher in young athletes than in young controls. Comparison of the aged and young groups showed that although GIR at 400 mU.m-2 x min-1 was significantly lower in aged controls than in young controls, there was no significant difference between the aged athletes and the young athletes. We conclude that insulin responsiveness (insulin action at the postreceptor binding site) may decrease with the aging process and may be further affected by physical inactivity. Although physical training may improve insulin responsiveness in aged individuals up to levels similar to those in young athletes, physical training in young individuals may improve only insulin sensitivity.

Physical inactivity is prevalent among ethnic minority women including Korean American (KA) women. We explored the barriers to and facilitators of physical activity (PA) and strategies to promote continued engagement in a PA program with a component of an online community. We conducted a qualitative descriptive study of 37 KA middle-aged women who used to be physically inactive and participated in an exit interview following postintervention visit. Using a thematic analysis approach to analyze the data, we found the individual, interpersonal, and neighborhood/community-level barriers to and facilitators of PA; social influence and social support-related themes were evident. Participants expressed benefit and interest in lifestyle modification using social media. Such program that reduces the barriers and reinforces the facilitators may be able to help motivate KA women to increase their PA.

The Relationship

The article presents an analysis of the relevance and the content of the problem of resilience of people of pre-retirement and retirement age by means of physical training and sports. The anal-ysis of those psychological and physiological problems which arise in persons of pre-retirement and retirement age at the time of retirement is carried out and the need for their solution is justi-fied. The authors reveal the content of the concept of resilience in science and emphasize its im-portance to resist various negative environmental factors and to increase the stability and ac-tivity of individual life position. The authors focus on the fact that the relationship between the resilience of the individual and physical health has been studied and revealed in the science. It is noted that the principles and values of physical training and sports can be an effective means of increasing and developing the resilience of a person especially the pensioners and the per-sons of pre-retirement age. Physical training and sports have a positive impact: they not only promote human health but also increase self-confidence and susceptibility to depression. The article states the problem of developing the resilience of people of pre-retirement and retirement age by means of physical training requires additional research in the direction of studying the relationship between resilience and various aspects of physical health, between physical activity and stress resistance in older age. Improving the resilience of the elderly people by means of physical training and sports is associated with the need of promoting new diagnostic techniques and technologies for the development of resilience in the process of applying physical activity and the elements of sports accounting the physical and psychological characteristics of this age group.

Abstract Background: This study examines the association between socioeconomic and lifestyle factors and the prevalence of hypertension among the elderly in rural southwest China.Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 4,833 consenting adults aged ≥60 years in rural regions of Yunnan Province, China was conducted in 2017. Data on individual socioeconomic status, sleep quality, physical activity level, and family history of hypertension were collected with a standardized questionnaire. Blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, height, weight, and waist circumference were also measured. An individual socioeconomic position (SEP) index was constructed using principal component analysis. Structure equation modeling (SEM) was applied to analyze the association between socioeconomic and lifestyle factors and the prevalence of hypertension. Results: The overall prevalence of hypertension was 50.6% in the study population. The following associated factors had statistically significant effect on hypertension: body composition, including measures of obesity and central obesity, had the greatest total effect on hypertension (0.21), followed by family history of hypertension (0.14), gender (0.08), sleep quality (-0.07), SEP (-0.06), physical inactivity (0.06), and diabetes (0.06). Body composition, SEP, and family history of hypertension had both direct and indirect effects on hypertension, whereas those of physical inactivity, diabetes, and sleep quality were directly associated with prevalence of hypertension. Gender was indirectly associated with prevalence of hypertension. Conclusion: Individual SEP, body composition, physical inactivity, diabetes, and sleep quality critically influence the prevalence of hypertension. Future interventions to prevent and control hypertension should give increased attention to individuals with low SEP and should focus on controlling diabetes and obesity, increasing physical activity levels, and improving quality of sleep among older adults aged ≥60 years in rural southwest China.
