PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND CARDIOMETABOLIC HEALTH
Focus on domain-specific associations of physical activity over the life course
1. In cardiometabolic health care management, the domain of physical activity is an important attribute, irrespective whether it is related to leisure time, commuting or occupational performance (this thesis).
2. Occupational moderate to vigorous physical activity should not be considered as a substitute for physical activity performed during leisure time (this thesis).
3. Individuals obtain an additional benefit associated with physical activity by selecting more active means of commuting (this thesis).
4. A physically active lifestyle is important at any age, but relevant health outcomes may differ according to age (this thesis).
5. The benefits of moderate to vigorous physical activity in the prevention of body weight gain in younger adults could be a protective factor against cardiometabolic diseases in late adult life (this thesis).
6. Older individuals who are able to remain active despite their ages or longstanding diseases are likely to remain relatively healthy (this thesis).
7. In women, physical activity is a key element for preventing weight gain (Chapter 4 of this thesis).
8. Bioelectrical impedance analysis is an appropriate obesity measure for improving assessments of cardiovascular risk, especially in women (Chapter 6 of this thesis). 9. ‘Eating alone will not keep a man well; he must also take exercise […] to produce health’
(Hippocrates).
10. ‘One dies of lack of movement, not of old age’ (a Mongolian proverb).
11. A good teacher charts the obstacles a student might encounter, steps back and waits patiently until the student has overcome them by him or herself
12. Dutch university professors cycling alongside their students demonstrate that a disregard for status symbols and hierarchy is conducive to both physical activity and a stimulating academic environment.
