This viewpoint piece examines Global Health in the Pacific region. The purpose of the article is to provide a Pacific, female perspective to Global Health by considering the history, context, and current practices in the region. Reflecting on a history of colonialism and exclusion of Indigenous Pacific Peoples worldviews, we re-imagine a future that prioritises Pacific aspirations. Central to this shift is a Global Health approach that ensures Pacific priorities, leadership and aspirations through four action areas of sovereignty, integrating worldviews, connectivity, and equity and participation. We draw on examples of lived experiences that include health systems strengthening, research and policy.

Background

The rising burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in Asia requires risk assessment tools tailored to Asian populations. Therefore, we recalibrated the ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations for non-Hispanic Whites (PCE-W) and compared its performance in predicting 10-year CVD risk with two other established CVD prediction models that have been recently recalibrated for Asian populations.

Methods

We used data from the Singapore Multi-Ethnic Cohort (MEC1) and the Singapore Epidemiology of Eye Diseases (SEED) cohort comprising ethnic Chinese, Indian, and Malay participants. The PCE-W was recalibrated using data from MEC1, externally validated in the SEED cohort, and compared against the Singapore-modified Framingham Risk Score (SG-FRS-2023) and the SCORE2 Asia–Pacific model using the concordance index (C-index). Calibration was assessed using the calibration-in-the-large method, the calibration slope, and a goodness-of-fit test.

Findings

All three models demonstrated possibly helpful to clearly useful discrimination in MEC1 and SEED, with overall C-indices ranging from 0.728 to 0.811. The recalibrated PCE-W outperformed the original PCE-W in MEC1 and SEED, although some misestimations remained among Chinese men and women and Malay women (calibration-in-the-large ranged from −0.479 to 0.260). The SG-FRS-2023 displayed generally satisfactory calibration across both MEC1 and SEED but tended to overestimate risk in Chinese (calibration-in-the-large −0.671) and Indian men (calibration-in-the-large −0.214) in the SEED cohort. The SCORE2 Asia–Pacific model performed satisfactorily among Indians but overestimated risk in Chinese (calibration-in-the-large ranged from −0.570 to −1.185) and showed poor model fit in Malays.

Interpretation

The recalibrated PCE-W, SG-FRS-2023, and SCORE2 Asia–Pacific model demonstrated possibly helpful to clearly useful discrimination across two multi-ethnic cohorts in Singapore. In terms of calibration, the recalibrated PCE-W and SG-FRS-2023, both recalibrated using local data, performed better than the SCORE2 Asia–Pacific model. Our study supports the use of the established CVD prediction models in Asian populations following appropriate local recalibration.

亚洲心血管疾病(CVD)负担的增加需要针对亚洲人群的风险评估工具。因此,我们重新校准了非西班牙裔白人的ACC/AHA合并队列方程(PCE-W),并将其在预测10年心血管疾病风险方面的表现与最近为亚洲人群重新校准的其他两种已建立的心血管疾病预测模型进行了比较。方法我们使用来自新加坡多民族队列(MEC1)和新加坡眼病流行病学队列(SEED)的数据,该队列包括华人、印度人和马来人。PCE-W使用来自MEC1的数据重新校准,在SEED队列中进行外部验证,并使用一致性指数(C-index)与新加坡修改的Framingham风险评分(SG-FRS-2023)和SCORE2亚太模型进行比较。采用大规模校准法、校准斜率和拟合优度检验对校准进行评估。结果表明,这三种模型可能有助于明确MEC1和SEED的有用区分,总c指数在0.728 ~ 0.811之间。重新校准的PCE-W在MEC1和SEED中的表现优于原始PCE-W,尽管在华人男性和女性以及马来女性中仍然存在一些错误估计(校准范围为- 0.479至0.260)。SG-FRS-2023在MEC1和SEED中显示出总体满意的校准,但在SEED队列中,中国男性(校准-大- 0.671)和印度男性(校准-大- 0.214)倾向于高估风险。SCORE2亚太模型在印度人中表现令人满意,但在华人中高估了风险(大校准范围从- 0.570到- 1.185),在马来人中显示出较差的模型拟合。重新校准的PCE-W、SG-FRS-2023和SCORE2亚太模型显示可能有助于在新加坡的两个多民族队列中明确有用的歧视。在校准方面,重新校准的PCE-W和SG-FRS-2023均使用当地数据进行重新校准,其性能优于SCORE2亚太模型。我们的研究支持在适当的当地重新校准后,在亚洲人群中使用已建立的CVD预测模型。这项工作得到了新加坡卫生部国家医学研究委员会和新加坡生物医学研究委员会的支持。

Background

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global public health challenge. Even low-incidence countries, like Australia, are struggling to achieve ambitious targets to eliminate local TB transmission. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis facilitates accurate transmission tracking, but its integration into public health response remains limited. This study conducted spatiotemporal analyses of routine WGS data and assessed its potential value to guide programmatic TB control responses.

Methods

WGS and geolocation data from 2492 M. tuberculosis isolates were examined, representing 94.9% of culture-confirmed and 64.2% of all notified TB cases in New South Wales, Australia (2017–2023). We performed genomic clustering, assessed genetic and geographic distances between cases, and applied Bayesian dated phylogeny to estimate the likely time of strain introduction.

Findings

Most notified TB cases were successfully sequenced and geolocated, with 88.3% (2200/2492) residing in metropolitan Sydney. The local health districts (LHDs) with the highest case counts were South Western (523/2492, 21.0%) and Western Sydney (476/2492, 19.1%). Using a 5-SNP threshold, WGS identified 106 putative transmission clusters involving 288 cases (11.7%), with 50% spanning multiple LHDs. Eight large clusters (≥5 members) were identified, containing 64 cases (2.6%). The largest cluster (17 members) was caused by a Lineage 1 strain, although most large clusters were associated with Lineage 2 strains; two were isoniazid resistant. There was poor correlation between genetic and geographic distances, which showed some improvement with removal of outliers. Most recent common ancestor estimates suggested recent introduction of strains associated with local transmission. Strain clustering and lineage-through-time analyses revealed temporal patterns in cluster expansion and contraction, facilitating accurate monitoring of cluster spread across all of NSW.

Interpretation

The findings demonstrate the added value of integrating genomic and spatiotemporal clustering data to detect persistent transmission and guide targeted interventions to pursue the aspirational goal of “zero local TB transmission”.

结核病(TB)仍然是一项全球公共卫生挑战。即使是像澳大利亚这样的低发病率国家,也在努力实现消除当地结核病传播的宏伟目标。结核分枝杆菌的全基因组测序(WGS)有助于准确追踪传播,但将其整合到公共卫生应对中仍然有限。本研究对常规WGS数据进行了时空分析,并评估了其对指导规划结核控制反应的潜在价值。方法分析2017-2023年澳大利亚新南威尔士州2492株结核分枝杆菌的swgs和地理定位数据,分别占培养确诊病例的94.9%和报告结核病例的64.2%。我们进行了基因组聚类,评估了病例之间的遗传和地理距离,并应用贝叶斯时间系统发育来估计菌株引入的可能时间。大多数报告的结核病例成功测序和定位,其中88.3%(2200/2492)居住在悉尼大都会。病例数最高的地方卫生区是西南区(523/2492,21.0%)和西悉尼区(476/2492,19.1%)。使用5-SNP阈值,WGS确定了106个假定的传播集群,涉及288例(11.7%),其中50%跨越多个lhd。共发现8个大集群(≥5个成员),共64例(2.6%)。最大的集群(17个成员)是由谱系1菌株引起的,尽管大多数大型集群与谱系2菌株有关;其中2例对异烟肼耐药。遗传距离与地理距离之间的相关性较差,在去除异常值后,这种相关性有所改善。最近的共同祖先估计表明,最近引入的菌株与当地传播有关。菌株聚类和时间谱系分析揭示了集群扩张和收缩的时间模式,有助于准确监测整个新南威尔士州的集群传播。研究结果表明,整合基因组和时空聚类数据在检测持续传播和指导有针对性的干预措施以实现“本地零结核病传播”的理想目标方面具有附加价值。资助nhmrc结核病卓越研究中心(www.tbcre.org.au)和新南威尔士州健康预防研究支助方案。

Background

Using community-based incidence studies and clinical registries to assess stroke care and outcomes is resource intensive and often geographically limited. Linked administrative data are lower-cost and wider-reaching, but potentially less accurate and complete. This study compared administrative data to national hospital-based study data to assess whether administrative data represents a valid alternative.

Methods

We linked and compared data from the REGIONS Care Study, a New Zealand nationwide observational study, with administrative data from Statistics New Zealand’s Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and Cohen’s kappa coefficient were used to assess case identification, risk factors, post-stroke outcomes, and interventions as applicable. Additional audits explored the validity of IDI ‘true false positives.’

Findings

From May to July 2018, 1719 patients with stroke were captured in REGIONS Care and 1833 in the IDI. Using REGIONS Care as the reference standard, the sensitivity of the IDI for stroke case identification was 83% and the positive predictive value 77%. There were 300 false-negatives and 414 false positives. The audit of two hospitals showed that some cases identified in IDI but excluded by REGIONS were actual strokes. For stroke risk factors, the IDI showed high sensitivity and specificity for diabetes (93% and 91%, respectively), atrial fibrillation (87% and 90%), and smoking (71% and 97%) but lower specificity for hypertension (61%), and dyslipidaemia (52%). A derived IDI favourable outcome measure showed good agreement with the modified Rankin Scale (sensitivity 88%, specificity 82%, kappa 0.67). The IDI accurately identified post-stroke medication use (sensitivities 81%–94%, specificities 78%–91%) and thrombectomy interventions (sensitivity 88%, kappa 0.91).

Interpretation

The use of administrative data to ascertain stroke cases, risk factors, interventions and outcomes was feasible and compared well with manual hospital data collection making an administrative data based national stroke register possible, although supplementary data collection for comprehensive care evaluation may be required.

背景:使用基于社区的发病率研究和临床登记来评估卒中治疗和结果是资源密集型的,而且往往是地理上有限的。关联的行政数据成本较低,影响范围更广,但可能不那么准确和完整。本研究将行政数据与基于国家医院的研究数据进行比较,以评估行政数据是否代表一个有效的替代方案。方法我们将新西兰全国范围内的观察性研究区域护理研究的数据与新西兰统计局综合数据基础设施(IDI)的行政数据联系起来并进行比较。敏感性、特异性、阳性预测值和Cohen’s kappa系数用于评估病例识别、危险因素、卒中后结局和适用的干预措施。额外的审计探讨了IDI“真假阳性”的有效性。从2018年5月到7月,1719名中风患者在区域护理中心被捕获,1833名在IDI中被捕获。以REGIONS Care为参考标准,IDI对脑卒中病例识别的敏感性为83%,阳性预测值为77%。有300个假阴性和414个假阳性。对两家医院的审计表明,在IDI中确定但被各区域排除在外的一些病例实际上是中风。对于卒中危险因素,IDI对糖尿病(分别为93%和91%)、房颤(分别为87%和90%)和吸烟(分别为71%和97%)的敏感性和特异性较高,但对高血压(61%)和血脂异常(52%)的特异性较低。衍生的IDI有利结果测量与改进的Rankin量表(敏感性88%,特异性82%,kappa 0.67)吻合良好。IDI准确识别脑卒中后药物使用(敏感性81%-94%,特异性78%-91%)和取栓干预(敏感性88%,kappa 0.91)。使用行政数据来确定卒中病例、危险因素、干预措施和结果是可行的,并且与手工医院数据收集相比较,使得基于行政数据的国家卒中登记成为可能,尽管可能需要补充数据收集以进行综合护理评估。该研究由新西兰健康研究委员会(HRC 17/037)资助。

Kawasaki Disease (KD) is an acute pediatric vasculitis with unclear etiology, though environmental triggers have been proposed. This scoping review synthesized epidemiological evidence on outdoor environmental exposures and KD incidence. A systematic search up to December 2024 identified 32 eligible studies. KD incidence is highest in East Asia, particularly Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, where most research has been concentrated. Meteorological variables and air pollutants were most studied. Approximately half of the studies on meteorological variables found associations with KD, with some suggesting the role of temperatures or wind-driven transport of airborne agents. Air pollution studies showed inconsistent short-term effects, but more consistent links with long-term or prenatal particulate matter exposure. Studies on airborne biological agents, though fewer, showed consistent positive findings. These results suggest a multifactorial etiology. However, heterogeneity in methods limits comparability.

川崎病(Kawasaki Disease, KD)是一种急性小儿血管炎,病因不明,但环境因素已被提出。这一范围综述综合了室外环境暴露和KD发病率的流行病学证据。到2024年12月,系统搜索确定了32项符合条件的研究。KD发病率在东亚最高,特别是日本、韩国和台湾,这些地区的研究最为集中。研究最多的是气象变量和空气污染物。大约一半关于气象变量的研究发现了与KD的关联,其中一些研究认为温度或空气介质的风驱动运输起了作用。空气污染研究显示出不一致的短期影响,但与长期或产前接触颗粒物的联系更为一致。对空气传播的生物制剂的研究,虽然较少,但显示出一致的积极结果。这些结果提示多因素病因。然而,方法的异质性限制了可比性。土壤、水或其他室外来源中的化学物质也可能影响与KD相关的免疫途径,但对这些化学物质知之甚少。需要标准化的多国研究来阐明环境贡献并指导高风险地区的预防工作。

The WHO Southeast Asia and Western Pacific regions, home to more than half of the world's population, bear a disproportionate burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), including some of the most severe resistance patterns. The convergence of rapidly growing economies and persistent health system challenges in these regions creates a critical platform for understanding the dynamics of AMR and developing scalable governance approaches relevant to other low- and middle-income countries. This Viewpoint reviews current progress in AMR governance globally and study regions, with a focus on country-specific National Action Plans, and highlights the discrepancies between policy intentions and actual implementation. Implementation science, developed to address research-to-practice gaps, provides a systematic framework for identifying and overcoming barriers to implementation, thereby translating political commitments into actionable interventions. Given the cross-sectoral complexity of AMR, we propose novel strategic priorities to enhance AMR governance by embedding implementation science within the One Health approach. This involves a four-step process: selecting and adapting evidence-based practices, assessing multilevel barriers and enablers, selecting, using and adapting implementation strategies, and evaluating and sustaining their impact. Together, this framework provides a blueprint for localising and operationalising overarching policy concepts into concrete, context-specific actions, with potential lessons for other regions globally.
世卫组织东南亚和西太平洋区域拥有世界一半以上的人口,承受着不成比例的抗菌素耐药性负担,包括一些最严重的耐药性模式。这些地区快速增长的经济体和持续存在的卫生系统挑战的融合为了解抗微生物药物耐药性的动态和制定与其他低收入和中等收入国家相关的可扩展治理方法提供了一个重要平台。本观点回顾了全球和研究区域在抗微生物药物耐药性治理方面的当前进展,重点关注具体国家的国家行动计划,并强调了政策意图与实际执行之间的差异。为解决从研究到实践的差距而发展起来的实施科学,为确定和克服实施障碍提供了一个系统框架,从而将政治承诺转化为可行动的干预措施。鉴于抗菌素耐药性的跨部门复杂性,我们提出了新的战略重点,通过在“同一个健康”方法中嵌入实施科学来加强抗菌素耐药性治理。这涉及一个四步过程:选择和调整基于证据的实践,评估多层次障碍和推动因素,选择、使用和调整实施战略,以及评估和维持其影响。总体而言,该框架提供了一份蓝图,可将总体政策概念本地化并付诸实施,转化为具体的、针对具体情况的行动,并可能为全球其他地区提供借鉴。

Background

The ABO blood group locus is a well-established genetic determinant of venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk in both individuals of European and East Asian ancestry. Recent studies have identified key ABO haplotypes tagged by four common SNPs—rs2519093 (A1), rs1053878 (A2), rs8176743 (B), and rs8176719/rs41302905 (O1/O2)—that influence both incident and recurrent VTE risk in Europeans. However, marked differences in ABO allele frequencies and haplotype structures across ancestries may render European findings inapplicable to East Asians, highlighting a critical gap in understanding the genetic basis of VTE in this population.

Methods

We conducted a haplotype-based association study using ABO-tagging SNPs (including rs512770 that distinguishes between O1.1 and O1.2) in 1576 VTE cases from China Pulmonary Thromboembolism Registry Study (CURES) and 17,535 ancestry-matched controls, adjusted for age, sex, and genetic principal components to evaluate the effects of ABO haplotypes on VTE risk and recurrence.

Findings

Our analyses revealed key population-specific differences: in East Asians, the rs1053878-A allele is consistently co-inherited with the rs2519093-T allele, precluding its use as a specific marker for the A2 blood group, unlike in Europeans. Furthermore, all non-O1 haplotypes were homogeneously associated with a ∼1.4-fold increased risk of VTE (p = 5.2 × 10−20) and a ∼1.7-fold increased risk of recurrence (p = 0.023), compared to the O1.1 group. Notably, the O1.2 blood group was also associated with a 1.7-fold increased risk of recurrence (p = 0.039).

Interpretation

These findings highlight fundamental differences in ABO haplotype structure and disease associations between East Asians and Europeans. Our study provides a population-specific SNP panel—rs8176719, rs2519093, rs1053878, rs8176743, and rs512770—for accurate genetic risk assessment of VTE in East Asians, underscoring the importance of ancestry-tailored approaches to thrombotic disease prediction.

ABO血型位点是欧洲和东亚血统个体静脉血栓栓塞(VTE)风险的一个公认的遗传决定因素。最近的研究已经确定了四个常见snp标记的关键ABO单倍型- rs2519093 (A1), rs1053878 (A2), rs8176743 (B)和rs8176719/rs41302905 (O1/O2) -影响欧洲人发生和复发性静脉血栓栓塞风险。然而,不同祖先之间ABO等位基因频率和单倍型结构的显著差异可能使欧洲的研究结果不适用于东亚人,这突出了在了解该人群VTE遗传基础方面的关键差距。方法我们对来自中国肺血栓栓塞登记研究(CURES)的1576例静脉血栓栓塞病例和17535例血统匹配对照进行了基于单倍型的关联研究,使用ABO标记snp(包括区分O1.1和O1.2的rs512770),调整了年龄、性别和遗传主成分,以评估ABO单倍型对静脉血栓栓塞风险和复发的影响。研究结果揭示了关键的人群特异性差异:在东亚,rs1053878-A等位基因与rs2519093-T等位基因始终是共同遗传的,这使得它无法作为A2血型的特异性标记,这与欧洲人不同。此外,与O1.1组相比,所有非o1单倍型均与VTE风险增加~ 1.4倍(p = 5.2 × 10−20)和复发风险增加~ 1.7倍(p = 0.023)相关。值得注意的是,O1.2血型的患者复发风险增加1.7倍(p = 0.039)。这些发现强调了东亚人和欧洲人在ABO单倍型结构和疾病关联方面的根本差异。我们的研究提供了一个人群特异性SNP面板- rs8176719, rs2519093, rs1053878, rs8176743和rss512770 -用于准确的东亚VTE遗传风险评估,强调了血统定制方法对血栓性疾病预测的重要性。本研究由中国医学科学院医学科学创新基金(No. 2024- im2 - ts -035, No. 2021- im2 -1-061)、国家重点研发计划(No. 2024YFE0101900, No. 2023YFC2507200)、国家自然科学基金(No. 82470046, No. 82241029)和非传染性慢性病国家科技重大专项(No. 2024ZD0528700)资助。

Background

Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Although evidence indicates rising early-onset cases and increasing incidence among females and never-smokers in Asia, these trends remain underexplored in Singapore. This study comprehensively examined historical incidence trends by age, sex, smoking status, and stage to inform targeted prevention and management strategies.

Methods

We analyzed lung cancer cases from administrative health records in Singapore (1968–2021) to calculate age-standardized and age-specific incidence by age (30–49 years, 50–64 years, ≥65 years), sex (male, female), smoking status (ever-, never-smokers), and stage (I–IV). Joinpoint regression identified significant trend changes, reporting annual percent change (APC), average annual percent change (AAPC), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). AAPCs were evaluated for the full study period and the most recent five years, with Benjamini-Hochberg adjustment for multiple comparisons.

Findings

From 1968 to 2021, 53,308 lung cancer cases were recorded in Singapore, predominantly in males (67.7%) and Chinese (87.8%), with 81.6% at advanced stages (III–IV). Incidence rose significantly only in females aged 30–49 years (AAPC = 0.79%, 95% CI: 0.41–1.18) and declined in all male age groups, especially 50–64 years (AAPC = −1.34%, 95% CI: −1.53 to −1.12). Stage I diagnoses increased significantly in both sexes (females: AAPC = 7.19%, 95% CI: 5.24–9.22; males: AAPC = 3.79%, 95% CI: 1.94–5.46) and incidence among never-smokers rose significantly, particularly among females (AAPC = 4.06%, 95% CI: 2.99–5.11).

Interpretation

The narrowing male-female gap, rising early-onset cases among females, and increasing incidence in female never-smokers, particularly those ≥65 years, highlight a shifting lung cancer burden in Singapore. Despite improvements in early-stage detection, most cases remained advanced, emphasizing the need to strengthen lung cancer management and screening strategies in Singapore.

肺癌仍然是全球癌症相关死亡的主要原因。尽管有证据表明,亚洲女性和从不吸烟者的早发病例和发病率不断上升,但这些趋势在新加坡仍未得到充分探讨。本研究全面考察了年龄、性别、吸烟状况和阶段的历史发病率趋势,为有针对性的预防和管理策略提供信息。方法分析新加坡行政卫生记录(1968-2021)中的肺癌病例,按年龄(30-49岁、50-64岁、≥65岁)、性别(男性、女性)、吸烟状况(曾经吸烟、从不吸烟)和分期(I-IV期)计算年龄标准化和年龄特异性发病率。连接点回归确定了显著的趋势变化,报告了年变化百分比(APC),平均年变化百分比(AAPC)和95%置信区间(CIs)。对整个研究期间和最近5年的AAPCs进行评估,采用benjamin - hochberg调整进行多重比较。研究结果:从1968年到2021年,新加坡记录了53308例肺癌病例,主要是男性(67.7%)和中国人(87.8%),其中81.6%为晚期(III-IV)。发病率仅在30-49岁的女性中显著升高(AAPC = 0.79%, 95% CI: 0.41-1.18),在所有男性年龄组中均下降,尤其是50-64岁(AAPC = - 1.34%, 95% CI: - 1.53 ~ - 1.12)。一期诊断在两性中均显著增加(女性:AAPC = 7.19%, 95% CI: 5.24-9.22;男性:AAPC = 3.79%, 95% CI: 1.94-5.46),不吸烟者的发病率显著增加,尤其是女性(AAPC = 4.06%, 95% CI: 2.99-5.11)。男女差距的缩小,女性早发病例的增加,以及女性不吸烟者(特别是≥65岁的女性)发病率的增加,突显了新加坡肺癌负担的变化。尽管早期检测有所改善,但大多数病例仍然处于晚期,这强调了新加坡加强肺癌管理和筛查策略的必要性。本研究得到新加坡国家医学研究委员会健康促进、预防健康、人口健康和卫生服务研究(HPHSR)临床科学家奖(hcsainv24july -0002)的支持。

Background

Whether leisure-time physical activity modifies the association between frailty and mortality in older adults is unclear.

Methods

We analyzed the interactions between physical activity and frailty status on all-cause mortality risk using Cox proportional hazards models across five nationally representative cohorts: Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (56,555 participants, median follow-up 6.5 years), China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (12,271 participants, 9.0 years); Health and Retirement Study (13,729 participants, 11.9 years); English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (9100 participants, 9.8 years); and Mexican Health and Aging Study (11,262 participants, 19.3 years). Frailty status was classified as robust, prefrail, and frail based on deficit accumulation models, including common disease, functional, locomotor, sensory, mental, and cognitive deficit. Physical activity was classified as regular (meeting World Health Organization recommendations) or inactive.

Findings

Across five cohorts (median age 58.0–65.0 years), physical activity consistently interacted with frailty on all-cause mortality (all Pinteraction ≤ 0.036). In pooled analyses, frailty was associated with higher risks of mortality in inactive participants (multivariable-adjusted HR: 3.72, 95% CI: 2.54–5.45 for frailty) than in regularly active participants (2.40, 1.71–3.36 for frailty; Pinteraction < 0.001); results of each cohort were meta-analyzed by random-effects models (I2 within-subgroup >78.7%, P < 0.001). Whereby, the inverse association between regular activity and mortality was more evident in frail participants (0.56; 0.53–0.59) than in robust participants (0.80, 0.73–0.87); results were meta-analyzed by fixed effects models (I2 within-subgroup >18.6%, P > 0.296). Such interaction patterns remained between each deficit of frailty and physical activity in at least one cohort.

Interpretation

Consistent findings across five cohorts demonstrated that regular physical activity mitigates frailty-associated mortality, and frail adults might gain more survival benefits from regular activity than robust adults.

背景:目前尚不清楚闲暇时间的体育活动是否能改变老年人身体虚弱和死亡率之间的关系。方法:采用Cox比例风险模型分析了身体活动和虚弱状态对全因死亡风险的相互作用,研究对象包括5个具有全国代表性的队列:欧洲健康、老龄化和退休调查(56555人,中位随访6.5年)、中国健康和退休纵向研究(12271人,9.0年);健康和退休研究(13,729名参与者,11.9岁);英国老龄化纵向研究(9100名参与者,9.8岁);墨西哥健康与老龄化研究(11,262名参与者,19.3岁)。根据缺陷积累模型,包括常见疾病、功能、运动、感觉、精神和认知缺陷,将虚弱状态分为健壮、体弱和体弱。体育活动被分为定期(符合世界卫生组织的建议)和不活动。在5个队列中(中位年龄58.0-65.0岁),体力活动与虚弱对全因死亡率的影响持续存在相互作用(所有p相互作用≤0.036)。在汇总分析中,不运动的参与者(多变量调整后的HR: 3.72, 95% CI: 2.54-5.45)比经常运动的参与者(2.40,1.71-3.36,p相互作用<; 0.001)的死亡风险更高;每个队列的结果采用随机效应模型进行meta分析(I2 -亚组内>;78.7%, P < 0.001)。因此,身体虚弱的参与者(0.56;0.53-0.59)与健壮的参与者(0.80,0.73-0.87)相比,规律运动与死亡率之间的负相关更为明显;结果采用固定效应模型进行meta分析(I2在亚组内>;18.6%, P > 0.296)。在至少一个队列中,这种相互作用模式仍然存在于每一种虚弱缺陷和身体活动之间。五个队列的一致发现表明,有规律的体育活动可以减轻与虚弱相关的死亡率,体弱多病的成年人可能比健壮的成年人从有规律的体育活动中获得更多的生存益处。资助非传染性慢性病国家科技重大专项、国家自然科学基金、国家重点研发计划、上海市教委“曙光学者计划”、上海交通大学医学院“上海市教委高峰临床医学资助项目”、上海市地方高水平大学创新科研团队。
