A more favourable ASI score was associated with improved symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, QOL-mental and of energy and fatigue (all p < 0.05). The intervention effects on symptoms of depression ([AB; 95%CI] -0.31; - 0.60,-0.11), anxiety (- 0.11; - 0.27,-0.01), stress (- 0.37; - 0.65,-0.174), QOL-mental (0.53; 0.22, 1.01) and ratings of energy and fatigue (0.85; 0.33, 1.63) were mediated by ASI. At 6 months the magnitude of association was larger although the overall pattern of results remained similar. Conclusions: Improvements in the overall physical activity and sleep behaviours of adults partially mediated the intervention effects on mental health and quality of life outcomes.

By drawing from a diverse occupational population, this research aims to reduce any occupational specific biases which are prevalent in shift-work research. Subject and methods Current data included 7607 workers (shift workers n = 832) from the Household Income and Labour Dynamics of Australia cohort study. The combined physical activity–sleep index comprised three physical activity components and three sleep health components: achieving moderate (1pt) or high (2pts) IPAQ classification; accruing ≥30% of physical activity as vigorous intensity (1pt); meeting sleep duration recommendations on a work night (1pt); and non-work night (1pt); and reporting no insomnia symptoms (1pt) (higher score = healthy behaviour, max. 6). Generalised linear modelling was used to compare behaviours of shift and non-shift workers. Results Findings showed shift workers reported significantly lower activity–sleep scores (3.59 vs 3.73, p < 0.001), lower sleep behaviour sub-score (2.01 vs. 2.22, p < 0.001) and were more likely to report insomnia symptoms (p < 0.001) compared to non-shift workers. No difference was reported for overall physical activity (shift = 1.58 vs. non-shift = 1.51, p = 0.383). Conclusion When viewed in conjunction using the combined activity–sleep index, shift workers displayed significantly poorer combined behaviours when compared to non-shift workers. ]]> Tue 25 Jul 2023 10:09:12 AEST ]]> Sociodemographic and behavioral correlates of insufficient sleep in Australian adults https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48573 8 h/d sitting time, smoking, and frequent consumption of fast food were positively associated with frequent insufficient sleep (P < .05).

A total of 240 adults (aged 18-80) will be recruited and randomly allocated to either the ecofit intervention or a 'wait-list' control group. Both groups will have access to the two types of outdoor park exercise equipment, but the intervention group will be given access to the purpose-built ecofit app and a 90-min introductory group training session. To promote social support, participants can enrol in a group of up to four individuals and access the ecofit Facebook group. The ecofit app include workout plans that can be tailored to different locations, difficulty levels and workout-types (i.e., resistance-only or combined resistance and aerobic workouts). Outcome assessments will be conducted at baseline, 3- (primary-end point) and 9-months follow-up. The primary outcomes are upper and lower body muscular fitness. The secondary outcomes include physical activity, body composition, aerobic fitness, body mass index, self-report resistance-based physical activity, and mental health outcomes. The cost-effectiveness of the study will also be evaluated. Discussion: ecofit is an innovative, multi-component physical activity intervention that integrates smartphone technology, social support and the outdoor built environment to promote community-based aerobic and resistance-based physical. The findings will be used to guide future interventions and to support councils to promote community-based physical activity through the use of local outdoor exercise equipment.

Poor mental health (Mental Health Inventory-5 ≤ 54) was assessed annually. Baseline (2013) PA was classified as high/moderate/low, and insomnia symptoms (i.e., trouble sleeping) were classified as no insomnia symptoms/insomnia symptoms, with 6 mutually exclusive PA-insomnia symptom groups derived. Associations of PA–insomnia symptom groups with onset of poor mental health were examined using discrete-time proportional-hazards logit-hazard models. Results: There were 2322 new cases of poor mental health (21.2%). Relative to the high PA/no insomnia symptoms group, there were higher odds (odds ratio, 95% confidence interval (95%CI)) of poor mental health among the high PA/insomnia symptoms (OR = 1.87, 95%CI: 1.57–2.23), moderate PA/insomnia symptoms (OR = 1.93, 95%CI: 1.61–2.31), low PA/insomnia symptoms (OR = 2.33, 95%CI: 1.96–2.78), and low PA/no insomnia symptoms (OR = 1.14, 95%CI: 1.01–1.29) groups. Any level of PA combined with insomnia symptoms was associated with increased odds of poor mental health, with the odds increasing as PA decreased. Conclusion: These findings highlight the potential benefit of interventions targeting both PA and insomnia symptoms for promoting mental health.

Depressive symptom score in 2013 was not associated with either food score in 2017. Current/prior diagnosis of depression in 2013 was associated with core (β:-0.198, 95%CI:-0.329,-0.067) but not non-core (β:-0.036, 95%CI: -0.151,0.080) food score in 2017. Limitations: Results may not be generalizable to the whole population due to some selection bias, self-report depression diagnosis may have led to misclassification of previous mental illness, and core and non-core food scores are not validated measures of diet quality. Conclusions: There is a prospective association between core food consumption and depressive symptoms. This association is of small magnitude and we cannot discount insufficient core food consumption reflecting an effect of prior mental illness.

Relevance of materials is associated with greater change in physical activity determinants and may be more so among those with a higher NFC.]]> Mon 22 Jan 2024 16:49:45 AEDT ]]> Sitting time in adults 65 years and over: behavior, knowledge, and intentions to change https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32553 Mon 18 Jun 2018 10:09:23 AEST ]]> Sleep Health in Male-dominated Workplaces: A Qualitative Study Examining the Perspectives of Male Employees https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44554 Mon 17 Oct 2022 10:13:27 AEDT ]]> Research combining physical activity and sleep: a bibliometric analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48259 Mon 13 Mar 2023 14:39:38 AEDT ]]> Prevalence, Trends, and Correlates of Joint Patterns of Aerobic and Muscle-Strengthening Activity and Sleep Duration: A Pooled Analysis of 359,019 Adults in the National Health Interview Survey 2004-2018 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46979 Mon 12 Dec 2022 17:08:30 AEDT ]]> The associations between physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep with mortality and incident cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and mental health in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54721 Mon 11 Mar 2024 11:58:49 AEDT ]]> The impact of exercise environments on adolescents' cognitive and psychological outcomes: a randomised controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38647 Mon 06 Dec 2021 16:41:16 AEDT ]]> Does matching a personally tailored physical activity intervention to participants’ learning style improve intervention effectiveness and engagement? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54108 Mon 05 Feb 2024 09:56:03 AEDT ]]> Associations between Changes in Activity and Sleep Quality and Duration over Two Years. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42977 Mon 04 Sep 2023 16:11:57 AEST ]]> Bidirectional associations of sleep and discretionary screen time in adults: Longitudinal analysis of the UK biobank https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51404 4 h/day), and calculated a sleep pattern composite score comprising morning chronotype, adequate sleep duration (7–8 h/day), never or rare insomnia, never or rare snoring, and infrequent daytime sleepiness. The overall sleep pattern was categorised into three groups (healthy: ≥ 4; intermediate: 2–3; and poor: ≤ 1 healthy sleep characteristic). Multiple logistic regression analyses were applied to assess associations between DST and sleep with adjustments for potential confounders. Participants with either an intermediate (OR: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.15, 1.71) or a poor (OR: 1.16; 95% CI: 1.10, 1.24) sleep pattern at baseline showed higher odds for high DST at follow-up, compared with those with a healthy baseline sleep pattern. Participants with medium (OR: 1.40; 95% CI: 1.14, 1.71) or high DST (OR: 1.62; 95% CI: 1.30, 2.00) at baseline showed higher odds for poor sleep at follow-up, compared with participants with a low DST. In conclusion, our findings provide consistent evidence that a high DST at baseline is associated with poor sleep over a nearly 7 year follow-up period, and vice versa.]]> Mon 04 Sep 2023 14:53:00 AEST ]]> Examining mediators of intervention efficacy in a randomised controlled m-health trial to improve physical activity and sleep health in adults https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47188 d = 0.48, 95% CI: -2.26, -0.33, p = 0.009) and sleep hygiene (d = 0.40, 95% CI: -3.10, -0.19, p = 0.027). Differences in MVPA were not significant (d = 0.24, 95% CI: -35.53, 254.67, p = 0.139). Changes in MVPA were mediated by self-efficacy, perceived capability, environment, social support, intentions and planning, some of which showed inconsistent mediation (suppression). None of the hypothesised psychosocial factors mediated sleep outcomes. Changes in sleep hygiene mediated changes in sleep quality. Conclusions: Several psychosocial factors mediated changes in physical activity but not in sleep outcomes. Mediation effects of sleep hygiene on sleep quality highlight the importance of providing evidence-based strategies to improve sleep quality.]]> Fri 30 Jun 2023 10:17:36 AEST ]]> A systematic review of workplace behavioral interventions to promote sleep health in men https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38536 Fri 29 Oct 2021 10:15:52 AEDT ]]> Validity and responsiveness to change of the Active Australia Survey according to gender, age, BMI, education, and physical activity level and awareness https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35696 Fri 25 Oct 2019 12:59:19 AEDT ]]> VO₂ₚₑₐₖ and 24-hour sleep, sedentary behavior, and physical activity in Australian truck drivers https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49005 5 min; 0.5–1.6 bouts/day) were limited.
