Purpose: To assess whether biometric data of participants (i.e., weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (BFP), heart rate, and blood pressure) would be statistically different from pre- to post-program assessments after completion of a single institution medical fitness referral program. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of randomly selected participants from August 2015 to December 2022. Analysis of variance was performed for each outcome with groups separated by gender, age, and time period relative to COVID. Results: Analysis included 984 participants, 653 (66%) were female, mean age was 55.5 years (SD = 14.9) with 297 (30%) of participants ≥65, and 747 (76%) completed the program prior to COVID. Significant mean reductions from pre- to post-program were seen for BMI (−.43, SD = 1.16), weight (-2.69 pounds, SD = 7.44), BFP (.44%, SD = 2.35%), systolic blood pressure (3.33 mmHg, SD = 14.58), and diastolic blood pressure (2.18 mmHg, SD = 8.65). Additional significant interactions identified: weight difference for participants less than age 65 (−3.16, SD = 8.31) vs participants ≥65 (−1.60, SD = 4.66), P = .003. Conclusions: In this analysis, participants of the program from August 2015 to December 2022 were seen to have statistically significant reductions in the delineated biometric parameters. However, due to limitations, specific conclusions regarding causation cannot be drawn.

Most adults do not adhere to established aerobic physical activity (PA) guidelines due in part to various barriers. PA snacks, or periodic short bouts of activity (<10 minutes) offer a potential strategy to overcoming such barriers and increasing PA. Previous efforts have been focused on eliciting the health benefits of PA and exercise snacks, yet adherence to this concept has not been examined. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current literature assessing adherence to PA snacks and health-related outcomes associated with PA snacks. PubMed, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus were searched for literature published between January 2018-September 2023. Studies investigating adherence and/or the health-related outcomes of PA snacks were included. Of 4201 articles identified, 12 studies were included in the review. Most of the studies were randomized (n = 10), focused on adults with a chronic disease/life-long condition or exhibited a sedentary lifestyle (n = 8), and reported positive health outcomes (n = 12; e.g., improvements in cardiometabolic markers and body composition). Five studies reported adherence to supervised and unsupervised PA snack interventions, with high rates ≥92%. This review supports and extends the previously reported health-related benefits of PA snacks. It also shows promise for increasing overall PA and adherence to the PA guidelines.
大多数成年人没有遵守既定的有氧体育锻炼（PA）指南，部分原因在于各种障碍。运动零食或周期性的短时间活动（10 分钟）为克服这些障碍和增加运动量提供了一种潜在的策略。以往的工作主要集中在宣传运动锻炼和运动零食对健康的益处，但尚未对这一概念的坚持情况进行研究。本综述的目的是总结目前评估坚持食用运动量零食以及与运动量零食相关的健康结果的文献。我们检索了 PubMed、CINAHL 和 SPORTDiscus 上 2018 年 1 月至 2023 年 9 月间发表的文献。纳入了调查 PA 零食的依从性和/或健康相关结果的研究。在确定的 4201 篇文章中，有 12 项研究被纳入综述。大多数研究都是随机的（n = 10），重点关注患有慢性疾病/终身疾病或表现出久坐不动生活方式的成年人（n = 8），并报告了积极的健康结果（n = 12；例如，心血管代谢指标和身体成分的改善）。五项研究报告了在有监督和无监督的情况下坚持运动量零食干预的情况，坚持率高达≥92%。本综述支持并扩展了之前报道的 PA 零食对健康的益处。它还显示了增加整体 PA 和遵守 PA 指南的前景。

Physical activity is a well-known behavior for promoting health and preventing a variety of chronic diseases. Despite widespread knowledge of the benefits of physical activity, most Americans do not engage in sufficient physical activity. Over the past decade, there has been increasing recognition of the health benefits of spending time in nature, mediated in part through physical activity. This has led to new partnerships across health, parks and recreation, public lands, and environmental organizations to increase time spent, and physical activity, in natural settings. This review assesses the current evidence around physical activity in natural settings (PANS), strategies for promoting PANS including health professional engagement, and current gaps in the research literature.

IntroductionThe promotion of healthy lifestyle behaviors among college students is a significant interest for public health, especially in Mississippi where 1 in 4 individuals have inadequate access to food supply. A study at a major Mississippi university found that 45% of their students reported food insecurity. More recently, research has highlighted a higher risk of unhealthy lifestyle habits among college students in the Southeastern US.MethodsThis study utilized a descriptive quantitative study design to survey first-year college students (n = 196) enrolled at a University in Southern Mississippi. The relationship between lifestyle and health among first-year college students was measured using the Fantastic Lifestyle Checklist. Data were analyzed utilizing bivariate analysis to determine significant correlations.ResultsOnly 19% of the students reported eating a balanced diet regularly, while 54% reported being active less than twice a week. Although 91% of the students perceived themselves as having an overall healthy lifestyle, 79% reported feelings of sadness or depression. The Fantastic Lifestyle Checklist correlated significantly ( P < .05) with gender out of all demographic variables.ConclusionsInterventions promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors should be encouraged among first-year college students who are vulnerable to contributing factors that can increase health risks. Interventions such as evaluation of risks, health promotion resources, and health promotion behavior awareness should be brought to bear in an effort to improve healthy lifestyle habits among students.

BackgroundMedical students often lack sufficient nutrition education, leading to confidence gaps and an inability to address this healthcare aspect. Culinary Medicine (CM) courses offer an innovative solution.MethodsWe tested the first French-speaking CM courses among 2 groups of second-third year medical students, compared to a control group (CG). The objectives were to assess if an optional CM course could enhance their confidence in both nutritional knowledge and providing nutritional advice, and improve their food agency (CAFPAS: Cooking and Food Provisioning Action Scale). The analysis examines changes in scores by comparing post-session to pre-session questionnaire measurements.ResultsOf the 22 CM students and 6 in CG, predominantly aged 20-25 years, Caucasian, and female, the majority (CG = 100%, CM = 86.4%) reported <5 hours of nutrition education. Almost all expressed dissatisfaction with nutrition education provided in medicine, both quantitatively and qualitatively. CM students reported significantly increased confidence in their knowledge and ability to advise about nutrition during the sessions. We also observed improvements in their CAFPAS scores, which measure food agency, while the control group exhibited no change in confidence or CAFPAS scores.ConclusionThe findings highlight CM as practical strategy for integrating nutrition education into medical curricula, offering insights for enhancing future physicians’ knowledge.

Most healthcare professionals agree on the “why” behind encouraging administrators to embrace Lifestyle Medicine as a means of treating chronic conditions and improving health. It is the “how” that often evades us. How do we build our business case to justify the sustained commitment to this approach to care? Each entity has unique obstacles and opportunities inherent in their business model and organizational culture. Attempts to position Lifestyle Medicine as a fundamental means for reshaping healthcare sometimes fall flat despite the value of the requests. Advance preparation including strategic planning and a well-designed approach can make the difference by addressing barriers and opening doors. Each business case will be unique, but there are critical elements that should be common to every strategic plan. We can identify foundational tactics to substantiate the need for integration of Lifestyle Medicine as a critical part of healthcare institutions and their financial plans. Given the momentum in Lifestyle Medicine as a discipline, recommendations can be based on successful practices in the development of business cases, program pilots, sustained budgets and outcomes that justify expansion.

The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (Guidelines) advises older adults to be as active as possible. Yet, despite the many benefits of physical activity, less than 15% of people ages 65 years and older meet the Guidelines. To address this, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services developed a Midcourse Report focused on the strategies and settings that can help increase physical activity levels among older adults. Internists are well positioned to encourage older adults to be more physically active. Health care providers can leverage this position to talk about the importance of regular physical activity; assess physical activity levels; share information and resources about how to safely get started; and provide counseling, guidance, and/or referrals to additional providers or programs for further support. This article provides an overview of the recently released Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans Midcourse Report: Implementation Strategies for Older Adult and highlights the role of internists and other health care providers to encourage and support their patients to be more physically active.

Occupational therapists (OT) are trained in interventions related to health and well-being, facilitating individuals in achieving occupational balance. This scoping review explored the current methods of disseminating Lifestyle Medicine (LM) knowledge in post-secondary health education and assessed the potential integration of LM principles into OT education. The review covered publications related to LM implementation in post-secondary health professions curricula. Six databases were searched. The authors conducted initial blind reviews of titles and abstracts, followed by a similar screening of full-text articles. Included full-text articles were obtained from university databases with the assistance of systematic review software. Among the 304 abstracts reviewed, 60 full-text articles were assessed, with 16 included in this scoping review. However, none of the programs in the literature were OT programs. The results show that the six pillars of lifestyle medicine were not equally emphasized in the reviewed programs, with social connection being the least addressed. However, OT education places importance on social connections, and the other pillars align well with the 2018 standards set by Accreditation Council of OT Education (ACOTE) and the parameters outlined in OT Practice Framework 4th Edition (OTFP-4). This alignment can be valuable for OT programs in meeting their accreditation requirements.
职业治疗师（OT）接受过与健康和幸福相关的干预培训，可帮助个人实现职业平衡。本范围界定综述探讨了目前在中学后健康教育中传播生活方式医学（LM）知识的方法，并评估了将 LM 原则纳入职业治疗师教育的可能性。综述涵盖了与在中学后健康专业课程中实施 LM 相关的出版物。共检索了六个数据库。作者首先对标题和摘要进行了盲审，然后对全文进行了类似的筛选。在系统性综述软件的帮助下，作者从大学数据库中获取了收录的全文文章。在审查的 304 篇摘要中，对 60 篇全文进行了评估，其中 16 篇被纳入本次范围界定审查。然而，文献中没有一个项目是加时赛项目。研究结果表明，生活方式医学的六大支柱在被综述的项目中并未得到同等重视，其中社会联系是最少被提及的。然而，OT 教育重视社会联系，其他支柱与 2018 年 OT 教育认证委员会（ACOTE）制定的标准以及 OT 实践框架第四版（OTFP-4）中概述的参数非常一致。这种一致性对于职业技术教育项目满足其认证要求非常有价值。
