Outline of Final Research Achievements

Almost exercise epidemiological studies had been evaluated by using single exposure at baseline only. The major limitation of this kind of study design was not able to evaluate the changes of several exposures such as physical activity, exercise, sedentary behavior and physical fitness. Therefore, we try to assess the relationships of several health outcomes with the changes in physical activity, exercise, sedentary time and physical fitness in Japanese several populations. In addition, we investigated the levels and changes of physical activity and sedentary time objectively evaluated by tri-axial accelerometers in Japanese populations. Finally, we discussed about methodological problem in multiple evaluations of several exposures.
