RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: The 2014 Australian Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines (Adults) recommend muscle-strengthening activities ≥2â¯days/week. This study aimed to identify factors associated with 5-year change and stability in adherence to these guidelines. DESIGN: Two adult follow-ups of the Childhood Determinants of Adult Health (CDAH) Study. Participants (nâ¯=â¯1510) were 26-36â¯years (CDAH-1, 2004-06) and 31-41â¯years (CDAH-2, 2009-11). METHODS: Information on muscle-strengthening activities, sociodemographics, health, physical activity and sedentary behaviour was collected. Participants reporting muscle-strengthening activities ≥2â¯days/week 'met guidelines', with change and stability categorised as 'persistent adherence', 'increasing adherence', 'decreasing adherence' and 'persistent non-adherence'. Differences in sociodemographic, health and behavioural factors were analysed using log multinomial regression. RESULTS: Between 15-21% of women (CDAH-1: 14.5%, 95% confidence intervalâ¯=â¯12.5-16.9; CDAH-2: 20.7%, 95% confidence intervalâ¯=â¯18.3-23.4) and ~21% of men (CDAH-1: 22.2%, 95% confidence intervalâ¯=â¯19.0-26.0; CDAH-2: 21.0%, 95% confidence intervalâ¯=â¯17.8-24.7) met muscle-strengthening guidelines, but only 8.5% (95% confidence intervalâ¯=â¯7.2-10.1) of participants were persistently adherent. Remaining in or moving from a major city, CDAH-1 weight status, cumulative self-rated health and vigorous physical activity were positively associated with persistent adherence (relative risk rangeâ¯=â¯1.51-3.92), while female gender, becoming partnered and having children at any timepoint were negatively associated with persistent adherence (relative risk rangeâ¯=â¯0.38-0.58). CONCLUSIONS: Adherence - particularly persistent adherence - to muscle-strengthening guidelines in this sample was low. Gender, marital status, weight status, BMI, self-rated health, urban-rural status, parental status, physical activity and sedentary behaviour were associated with adherence, and should be considered in intervention development to maximise effectiveness.

We report here a case of an adult seeking a late night peanut butter snack who mistook for peanut butter a fluoride containing glass etching compound. The glass etching compound was of a color and consistency similar to peanut butter and was packaged in a similar appearing container. The decedent survived for six hours after the fluoride ingestion. He was admitted to the emergency room in stable condition with severe gastrointestinal symptoms. His condition deteriorated rapidly prior to death with abrupt cardiac arrest and profound hypocalcemia (5.5 mg/dl). Autopsy showed only gastric hyperemia and discoloration with a postmortem blood fluoride level of 19 mg/L.
