Publication Open Access Long-term impact of adherence to muscle-strengthening guidelines on inflammation markers: a 17-year follow-up study with obesity parameters as mediators(BMJ Publishing, 2024-12-07) García Hermoso, Antonio; Ezzatvar, Yasmin; Yáñez-Sepúlveda, Rodrigo; Olivares-Arancibia, Jorge; Páez-Herrera, Jacqueline; López Gil, José Francisco; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun ZientziakObjective: To evaluate the relationship between adherence to muscle-strengthening guidelines in young adulthood and inflammation markers over a 17-year follow-up period. Additionally, it aims to examine whether body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) act as mediators in this relationship. Methods: The study analysed data from young adults aged 18–26 years who participated in waves III (2001–2002), IV (2008–2009) and V (2016–2018) of the Add Health Study. Adherence to muscle-strengthening guidelines was self-reported, and participants were classified as adherent if they engaged in strength training ≥2 days per week across all waves. Venous blood samples were collected at participants’ homes to measure highsensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels and various cytokine concentrations, including interleukin (IL)−6, IL1beta, IL-8, IL-10 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα). A global inflammation score was also calculated using z-scores of these markers. Results: A total of 2320 individuals participated (60.8% females). Participants adhering to muscle-strengthening guidelines exhibited significant reductions in hs-CRP, IL-6 and the inflammation z-score, with mean difference (MD) of −1.556mg/L (95% CI BCa −2.312 to −0.799), −0.324 pg/mL (95% BCa CI −0.586 to −0.062), and −0.400 (95% BCa CI −0.785 to −0.035), respectively. Mediation analysis revealed that BMI and WC levels at wave V significantly mediated the relationship between strength training and inflammation z-score, with significant indirect effects of −0.142 (95% CI −0.231 to −0.055) for BMI and −0.210 (95% CI −0.308 to −0.124) for WC. Conclusion: Adherence to muscle-strengthening guidelines alone may not be sufficient to achieve a notable decrease in inflammation without concurrent reductions in these obesity parameters.Publication Open Access Adherence to 24-hour movement guidelines in adolescence and its association with lower risk of hypertension in adulthood(Springer, 2025-03-06) García Hermoso, Antonio; López Gil, José Francisco; Yáñez-Sepúlveda, Rodrigo; Olivares-Arancibia, Jorge; Páez-Herrera, Jacqueline; Ezzatvar, Yasmin; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaBackground There is limited research on how adherence to 24 h movement guidelines from adolescence to adulthood afects long-term hypertension outcomes. This study examined the association between sustained adherence to these guidelines and hypertension risk. Methods Analysis was done on data from adolescents 12- to 19-year-olds who took part in Waves I and V of the Add Health Study. Physical activity (PA), screen time, and sleep duration were assessed through self-report questionnaires. Blood pressure (BP) was assessed on the right arm following a 5 min seated rest, utilizing an oscillometric device, and hypertension was defned as systolic/diastolic BP≥140/90 mmHg, physician-diagnosed hypertension, or current antihypertensive medication use. Results This prospective study included a total of 3076 participants (60.3% female), and 802 were diagnosed with hypertension. Meeting sleep duration guidelines at Wave I was associated with reductions in systolic [−0.568 mmHg, 95% biascorrected and accelerated (BCa) confdent interval (CI)−2.128 to−0.011, P=0.044] and diastolic (−0.331 mmHg, 95% BCa CI−1.506 to−0.071, P=0.043) BP at Wave V. Adherence to PA and sleep duration guidelines at both waves further reduced BP, with the greatest decreases observed among participants meeting all three guidelines: systolic (−6.184 mmHg, 95% BCa CI−13.45 to−0.915, P=0.040) and diastolic BP (−3.156 mmHg, 95% BCa CI−6.413 to−0.120, P=0.047). The risk of hypertension was lower among those who met the PA guidelines individually [relative risk (RR) 0.710, 95% CI 0.516–0.976, P=0.035] or adhered to all three recommendations (RR 0.699, 95% CI 0.311–0.899, P=0.030) in both waves. Conclusions Our fndings highlight the cardiovascular benefts of consistently adhering to healthy movement behaviors from adolescence through adulthood.
