Methods: Eighteen participants (Mage = 21.5 years) completed a series of 11 consecutive activities that varied in both movement (i.e., no movement, walking and pedaling) and anatomic position (i.e., lying, sitting and standing). During the trials, participants wore an ActiGraph GT9X accelerometer, with direct observation used to compare body position determination derived from the ActiGraph GT9X inclinometer. Results: The ActiGraph GT9X inclinometer demonstrated moderate accuracy (>68%) in body position determination for sedentary behaviors, high accuracy (>95%) in body position determination for ambulatory-based activities (e.g., walking and jogging), and had varied accuracy (100% vs. 32.1%) in identifying non-wear. Conclusion: The exclusive use of inclinometry for sedentary behavior and non-wear determination is not recommended.","PeriodicalId":90204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of behavioral health","volume":"6 1","pages":"189-192"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70809746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three sectors within the NPAP were evaluated, which included: health care; education; and transportation, land use and community design. Results: One-hundred percent of evaluated faculty reported awareness of the U.S. NPAP. With regard to the Health Care and Education strategies, 100% included at least one strategy and 85% included at least one Transportation, Land Use, and Community Design strategy. The percentages indicating use of all strategies in each sector was much lower with 39% of institutions reporting use of all Health Care strategies, 23% reported use of all Education strategies, and 38% reporting use of all Transportation, Land Use, and Community Design strategies.

Decrease in estrogen level may start a rapid decline in muscular strength, bone mineral density, aerobic fitness and increased body weight. All these in turn are associated with development of chronic conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, diabetes and others. Psychosocial factors have been documented as being capable of influencing physical activity (PA) in chronic conditions. Objective: Influence of psychosocial factors such as self-efficacy, family support and perceived barriers to exercise on PA level of menopausal women with chronic conditions were investigated in this study. Methods: A cross-sectional survey in which women with hypertension, diabetes and osteoarthritis were recruited from secondary and tertiary health centres in Ibadan and Ijebu-Ode in Oyo and Ogun States of Nigeria respectively after obtaining their informed consents. Physical activity was assessed with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), while Exercise Self-efficacy Scale and family version of the social support questionnaire as well as barrier scale of the Exercise Benefit and Barrier scale were used to assess psychosocial variables and perceived barriers to exercise respectively. Data were analysed using Chi-square and logistic regression analysis at P = 0.05. Results: Three hundred and five women, predominantly postmenopausal 249 (83.8%) participated in the study and hypertension 117 (38.4%) was the most prevalent chronic condition.

Methods: Data were collected from 200 University students from October 2015 through June 2016. In order to assess personality, the Neuroticism-Extraversion-Openness Five Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) questionnaire was utilized. Anxiety was assessed utilizing the 5-item OASIS questionnaire. Physical activity was assessed using the validated International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). A multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between the personality and anxiety. Interaction analyses were computed to see if there was an interaction effect of personality and physical activity on anxiety. Results: Personality traits neuroticism (β= -0.222, 95% CI= 0.176 to 0.269, P=0.0) and openness to experience (β= 0.069, 95% CI= 0.020 to 0.119, P=0.006) were associated with higher levels of anxiety. With regard to our main objective, which was whether MVPA moderated the effects of personality on anxiety, there was no evidence of an interaction effect. Conclusion: Higher MVPA could not counter affect the negative association of neuroticism and openness on anxiety. It is plausible to suggest that personality plays a stronger role in influencing anxiety when compared to physical activity. Targeted anxiety-reducing interventions are needed among certain personality traits.","PeriodicalId":90204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of behavioral health","volume":"6 1","pages":"89-92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70808994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The situation presents challenges to the health sector due to the higher number of chronic diseases (e.g., hypertension) that the situation presents. One of the major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases is hypertension, and its management may reduce such risk. Therefore, this study examines the factors affecting outpatient healthcare utilization among the elderly for the management of hypertension. Methods: Using data from the 2007/2008 Global Aging and Adult Health (SAGE) study on Ghana, this study investigated the determinants of outpatient healthcare utilization among 332 elderly persons with hypertension in Ghana. Chi-square test of association and logistic regression model were used to examine the effect of socio-economic factors on outpatient healthcare use. Results: The analysis was conducted on 332 elderly persons suffering from hypertension in Ghana. Out of this number, 78.61% utilized outpatient healthcare services in the 12 months prior to the SAGE Ghana Wave 1 survey. Patients with health insurance constituted 51.51% of the sample; and this was a significant determinant of healthcare use. There was a statistically significant positive association between patients’ age and use of outpatient healthcare services. Outpatient healthcare utilization increased for persons in the 70–79 age group and below. After this, outpatient healthcare use declined. Education, household wealth, location, and sex of the patient did not have any significant effect on outpatient healthcare service utilization. Conclusion: The level of outpatient healthcare use was higher among elderly patients. Membership of health insurance plan is a major factor affecting the use of outpatient healthcare services in managing hypertension among the elderly. Factors such as education, household wealth, location, and sex did not have any significant influence on outpatient healthcare consumption patterns for elderly hypertensive patients.","PeriodicalId":90204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of behavioral health","volume":"1 1","pages":"1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70809609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fifteen Saudi male international students who studied at a small liberal arts college were recruited and interviewed for about 30 to 50 minutes, following a semi-structured interview guideline. Results. The hookah was preferred by participants to the cigarettes because of its smell and the entertaining way of doing it. The major facilitators of the smoking behavior were socializing and leisure activity, academic stress, and reduced family influence. The protective factors included cost, accessibility, smoking policy, and influences from American culture. Conclusion.
