RESUMO
To assess the independent and combined relationships among objectively measured sedentary time (ST), light intensity PA (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA (MVPA) with muscle mass and fat mass (FM) and how theoretical displacement of these inter-dependent behaviours relates to body composition in oldest-old men. A total of 1046 men participating in the year 14 visit of the prospective Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) cohort study with complete data for accelerometry, dual x-ray absorptiometry, and deuterated creatine dilution (D3Cr) muscle mass were included in the analysis (84.0 ± 3.8 yrs.). Single, partition, and isotemporal substitution models were used to assess the interrelationships between PA intensities and ST with body composition measures, while controlling for relevant confounders. Replacing 30-min of ST with 30-min of MVPA was associated with lower FM (ß =-0.17, p < 0.001) and higher D3Cr muscle mass, although this was of borderline significance (ß = 0.07, p = 0.05). Replacing 30-min of ST for LPA was associated with lower FM (ß =-0.15, p < 0.001), but there was no effect on D3Cr muscle mass (p > 0.05). Exchanging ST with any intensity of PA is associated with benefits for FM in oldest-old adult men, although substitution with MVPA may be more beneficial than LPA for maintaining/improving skeletal muscle mass.

Apart from physical activity volume, frequent breaks from sedentary bouts and active bouts may differentially reduce fall and fracture risk. We assessed the longitudinal relationship between frequency of breaks from time spent sedentary and frequency of active bouts with recurrent falls and fractures. The sample included 2918 men aged 79.0 ± 5.1 years with free-living activity (SenseWear Armband) at the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study (MrOS) year 7 (2007-2009) visit. Men were divided into quartiles by the number of breaks from sedentary bouts (sedentary bout: 5+ minutes sedentary; <1.5 metabolic equivalents of task [METS]) and separately by active bout frequency (active bout: 5+ minutes of activity; ≥1.5 METS). Recurrent falls (2+ falls/year) and fractures were ascertained by self-report; fractures were radiographically confirmed. Generalized estimating equations estimated the recurrent fall odds, with restricted cubic splines applied to assess nonlinear relationships. Cox proportional hazards models estimated fracture risk. Over 4 years of follow-up after year 7, 1025 (35.1%) men were fallers. Over 8.40 ± 4.10 years of follow-up, 640 (21.9%) men experienced a fracture. There was a significant nonlinear U-shaped relationship between number of breaks from sedentary bouts and recurrent falls (p < 0.001); compared with men with few breaks from sedentary bouts (1.4-<13.6), the odds of recurrent falls were lower with a moderate number (13.6-<17.0, odds ratio [OR] = 0.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.66, 1.01; 17.0-<20.4, OR = 0.79, 95% CI 0.64, 0.99), but not with the highest number of breaks from sedentary bouts (20.4-34.6, OR = 1.01, 95% CI 0.81, 1.27). Results remained borderline significant after adjusting for total sedentary time. Men with the highest compared with the lowest number of breaks from sedentary bouts had a lower fracture risk, but the association was attenuated after adjustment for total sedentary time. No associations were observed for active bout frequency. In conclusion, breaking up extended periods of sedentary time reduces fall risk regardless of total sedentary time. © 2023 The Authors.

RESUMO
During lactation, changes in maternal calcium metabolism are necessary to provide adequate calcium for newborn skeletal development. The calcium in milk is derived from the maternal skeleton through a process thought to be mediated by the actions of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) in combination with decreased circulating estrogen concentrations. After weaning, bone lost during lactation is rapidly regained. Most studies of bone metabolism in lactating women have been performed in Caucasian subjects. There are well-documented differences between African American (AA) and Caucasian (C) bone metabolism, including higher bone mineral density (BMD), lower risk of fracture, lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH) D), and higher PTH in AA compared to C. In this prospective paired cohort study, BMD and markers of bone turnover were compared in self-identified AA and C mothers during lactation and after weaning. BMD decreased in both AA and C women during lactation, with similar decreases at the lumbar spine (LS) and greater bone loss in the C group at the femoral neck (FN) and total hip (TH), demonstrating that AA are not resistant to PTHrP during lactation. BMD recovery compared to the 2 week postpartum baseline was observed 6 months after weaning, though the C group did not have complete recovery at the FN. Increases in markers of bone formation and resorption during lactation were similar in AA and C. C-terminal telopeptide (CTX) decreased to 30% below post-pregnancy baseline in both groups 6 months after weaning, while procollagen type 1 N-terminal (P1NP) returned to baseline in the AA group and fell to below baseline in the C group. Further investigation is required to determine impacts on long term bone health for women who do not fully recover BMD before a subsequent pregnancy.

BACKGROUND: Time awake with advancing age is increasingly spent sedentary and has several negative health consequences. We examined associations between the frequency of daily sedentary and active bouts with all-cause mortality. METHODS: Data are from 2816 men in the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) Study (mean age ± SD: 79.1 ± 5.2 years) with free-living activity monitor (SenseWear® Pro3 Armband) data (5.1 ± 0.3 days worn >90%) at the Year 7 visit (2007-2009). Sedentary bout frequency was defined as the number of sedentary bouts per day lasting 5+ min to activity of any intensity. Active bout frequency was defined as the number of active bouts per day lasting 5+ min to sedentary behavior. Sleep time was excluded from the analysis. Deaths were centrally adjudicated using death certificates. Cox proportional hazard models were used to separately examine associations between quartiles of sedentary (Q1 referent, <13.6 bouts/day) or active (Q1 referent, <5 bouts/day) bout frequency with mortality. RESULTS: After 9.3 ± 3.8 years of follow-up, 1487 (52.8%) men died. Men averaged 16.8 ± 5.1 and 8.2 ± 4.2 sedentary and active bouts/day, respectively. After full covariate adjustment, each quartile reflecting more frequent sedentary bouts (Q4 vs. Q1 HR: 0.69, 95%CI: 0.58, 0.81, p-trend <0.001) was associated with lower mortality risk. Likewise, each quartile reflecting more frequent active bouts (Q4 vs. Q1 HR: 0.58, 95%CI: 0.49, 0.70, p-trend <0.001) was associated with lower mortality risk. Results for the sedentary bouts model remained significant after adjusting for total minutes per day in sedentary behavior (Q4 vs. Q1 HR: 0.63, 95%CI: 0.61, 0.86, p-trend = 0.001). The association between active bout frequency with mortality was attenuated after adjusting for total minutes per day active. CONCLUSIONS: Regardless of total time spent sedentary, reducing duration of sedentary bouts with more frequent and shorter bouts may be a simple and feasible method to delay mortality risk among community-dwelling older men.

BACKGROUND: Lower physical activity (PA) is associated with greater perceived fatigability, a person-centered outcome. The association between change in PA and fatigability with advanced age has yet to be established. METHODS: Community-dwelling older men (N = 1 113, age = 84.1 ± 3.9 years at Year 14) had free-living PA assessed using SenseWear Armband prospectively at Year 7 (2007-2009) and Year 14 (2014-2016) of Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study, a longitudinal cohort established in 2000 (baseline). We categorized percent changes in PA into groups (large decline â large increase) for 4 metrics: step count, light intensity PA (LIPA, metabolic equivalents [METs] >1.5 to <3.0), moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA, METs ≥ 3.0), and sedentary behavior (SB, METs ≤ 1.5, excluding sleep). Perceived physical and mental fatigability were measured (Year 14) with the Pittsburgh Fatigability Scale (PFS, higher score = greater fatigability; range = 0-50). Associations between each metric of percent changes in PA and fatigability were examined using linear regression, adjusted for demographics, change in health conditions, and Year 7 step count or total PA (METs > 1.5). RESULTS: Men declined 2 336 ± 2 546 (34%) steps/d, 24 ± 31 (25%) LIPA min/d, 33 ± 58 (19%) MVPA min/d, and increased 40 ± 107 (6%) SB min/d over 7.2 ± 0.7 years. Compared to large decline (% change less than -50%), those that maintained or increased step count had 3-8 points lower PFS Physical scores; those who maintained or increased LIPA and MVPA had 2-3 and 2-4 points lower PFS Physical scores, respectively (all p ≤ .01). Associations were similar, but smaller, for PFS Mental scores. CONCLUSION: Older men who maintained or increased PA had lower fatigability, independent of initial PA. Our findings inform the types and doses of PA that should be targeted to reduce fatigability in older adults.

BACKGROUND: Lower physical activity has been cross-sectionally associated with greater perceived fatigability, defined as self-reported fatigue anchored to activity intensity and duration. The temporality of this relationship, and whether it differs by activity type or marital status, remains unclear. METHODS: In the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study (N = 1 759), self-reported total, exercise, and household activity were assessed using the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly across 7 visits (2000-2016). The Pittsburgh Fatigability Scale (range: 0-50; higher scores = greater fatigability) measured physical (mean = 16.6 ± 9.7) and mental (mean = 7.8 ± 8.3) fatigability at Year 14. Least absolute deviation and linear regression were used to examine associations between baseline and change in activity over 14 years with subsequent fatigability. Models were adjusted for demographic, health, and lifestyle factors. RESULTS: After adjustment, lower baseline (ß= -0.08, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.12, -0.04) and greater annual declines in total activity (ß = -0.09, 95% CI: -0.14, -0.05) were prospectively associated with higher Pittsburgh Fatigability Scale (PFS) Physical scores. Associations were similar for mental fatigability (both p < .05). Lower baseline leisure exercise, but not baseline household activity, predicted higher PFS Physical scores (ß = -0.10 vs -0.001). In contrast, greater declines in household activity, but not declines in exercise, were associated with higher PFS Physical scores (ß = -0.09 vs -0.03). Lower baseline household activity predicted higher PFS Mental scores only for unmarried men (ß = -0.15, 95% CI: -0.29, -0.01, interaction p = .019). CONCLUSIONS: Baseline total activity and leisure exercise, and declines in total and household activity, were associated with higher subsequent perceived fatigability in older men. Marital status may mitigate the contribution of household activity to subsequent fatigability.
