Cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiometabolic health are associated with distinct cognitive domains in cognitively healthy older adults Open
Cardiometabolic risk and low cardiorespiratory fitness have been linked to age-related cognitive decline, but their relative contributions to different cognitive domains remain unclear. This study examined cross-sectional associations betw…

<b>‘</b> Small Steps’ towards improving 24-hour time-use behaviours to decrease the risk of dementia: protocol for a personalised, web-based randomised controlled trial in community-dwelling older adults Open
Introduction Addressing physical inactivity is a promising dementia risk reduction strategy due to its direct benefits for brain health, and indirect benefits for other modifiable dementia risk factors. A potential limitation of previous i…

Pacing, conventional physical activity and active video gaming to increase physical activity levels for adults with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome: a pilot feasibility study Open
Objectives People living with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) may face unique barriers to physical activity. Active video games may overcome these barriers and increase physical activity. The primary aim of this…

Cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiometabolic health are associated with distinct cognitive domains in cognitively healthy older adults. Open
Background: Aging is associated with progressive cognitive decline, as well as increased prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors and reduced cardiorespiratory fitness. In fact, reduced cardiometabolic health and cardiorespiratory fitnes…

The Relationship Between Dietary Patterns, Cognition, and Cardiometabolic Health in Healthy, Older Adults Open
Background: Healthy dietary patterns can support the maintenance of cognition and brain health in older age and are negatively associated with cardiometabolic risk. Cardiometabolic risk factors are similarly important for cognition and may…

Should We Work Smarter or Harder for Our Health? A Comparison of Intensity and Domain-Based Time-Use Compositions and Their Associations With Cognitive and Cardiometabolic Health Open
Background Each day is made up of a composition of “time-use behaviors.” These can be classified by their intensity (eg, light or moderate–vigorous physical activity [PA]) or domain (eg, chores, socializing). Intensity-based time-use behav…

Cross-sectional associations between 24-hour time-use composition, grey matter volume and cognitive function in healthy older adults Open
Background Increasing physical activity (PA) is an effective strategy to slow reductions in cortical volume and maintain cognitive function in older adulthood. However, PA does not exist in isolation, but coexists with sleep and sedentary …

Interactions between Mediterranean Diet Supplemented with Dairy Foods and the Gut Microbiota Influence Cardiovascular Health in an Australian Population Open
The impact of a Mediterranean diet on the intestinal microbiome has been linked to its health benefits. We aim to evaluate the effects of a Mediterranean diet supplemented with dairy foods on the gut microbiome in Australians at risk of ca…

Cross‐sectional associations between use of time and cognition in healthy older adults Open
Background Physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep are independently associated with cognition in older adults. These time‐use behaviours are not independent, rather, co‐dependent parts of the 24‐hour day. As such, spending more t…

Twenty-four-hour time-use composition and cognitive function in older adults: cross-sectional findings of the ACTIVate study Open
Introduction Physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep are associated with cognitive function in older adults. However, these behaviours are not independent, but instead make up exclusive and exhaustive components of the 24-h day. F…

Many different roads lead to Rome: equivalence of time-use for activity, sedentary and sleep behaviours and dietary intake profiles among adolescents Open
Background How we spend our time and what we eat have important implications for our health. Evidence suggests that health-equivalent behaviour change options which result in the same benefit are available within both time use (physical ac…
