Influence of Educational Level on Psychosocial Correlates and Perceived Environmental Correlates of Physical Activity in Adults at Risk for Type 2 Diabetes: The Feel4Diabetes-Study2019 •
Background: This study aimed to investigate whether the relationship between psychosocial and perceived environmental factors and physical activity (PA) in adults at risk for type 2 diabetes is influenced by educational level. Methods: Based on the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score questionnaire, this study selected 164 adults (Mage: 38 (5.34) y, 13.4% men) at type 2 diabetes risk from 11 low socioeconomic neighborhoods in Flanders (Belgium). Participants filled out questionnaires on psychosocial and perceived environmental factors and wore an ActiGraph accelerometer for 5 consecutive days. Statistical analyses were performed using analysis of covariance in SPSS. Results: Educational level significantly influenced the association between perception of body weight and light PA (P = .01) and total PA (P = .03) on weekend days. Educational level did not influence the associations between other psychosocial and perceived environmental factors (ie, perceived social influence; environmental, ti...
Background The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the European Feel4Diabetes intervention, promoting a healthy lifestyle, on physical activity and its correlates among families at risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (based on the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score) in Belgium. Methods The Feel4Diabetes intervention involved three components: family, school and community component, with the family component consisting of 6 counseling sessions for families at risk. Main outcomes were objectively measured physical activity levels and its subjectively measured correlates. The final sample consisted of 454 parents (mean age 39.4 years; 72.0% women) and 444 children (mean age 8.0 years; 50.1% girls). Multilevel repeated measures analyses were performed to assess intervention effectiveness after 1 year. Results In parents, there was no significant intervention effect. In children, there were only significant negative effects for moderate to vigorous physical activity (p = 0.05; ηp2 = 0...

Physical activity at home, at leisure, during transportation and at work in French adults with type 2 diabetes: the ENTRED physical activity study2015 •
Our study assessed the distribution of physical activity during various typical tasks of daily life in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D), a population typified by low physical activity. We investigated the duration and intensity of physical activity in four domains (work, leisure, transportation and domestic), and how individual determinants might influence the repartition. The long-form International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was administered to participants from the échantillon national témoin représentatif des personnes diabétiques (ENTRED), a study of French adults with T2D (n=724, 65% men, age 62±10y, BMI 29±5kg.m(-2), HbA1c 7.1±1.1%), and the associations between sociodemographic/clinical characteristics and categories of physical activity intensity (low, moderate or high) were examined by logistic regression. The median total physical activity was 2079 [Q1=893, Q3=3915]MET-min·week(-1). The main contributors to total physical activity were domestic chores, follow...

Sex differences in the association of psychological status with measures of physical activity and sedentary behaviour in adults with type 2 diabetes2018 •
To assess the association of psychological variables on leisure-time physical activity and sedentary time in men and women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated 163 patients with T2D, consecutively recruited at the Diabetes Centre of the Verona General Hospital. Scores on depression and anxiety symptoms, psychosocial factors (including self-efficacy, perceived interference, perceived severity, social support, misguided support behaviour, spouse's positive behaviour), physical activity and time spent sitting were ascertained using questionnaires responses to the Beck Depression Inventory-II, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Multidimensional Diabetes Questionnaire, International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Physical activity was significantly associated with higher social support in women and with increased self-efficacy in men. Sedentary time was significantly associated with higher perceived interference, anxiety and depressive symptoms, and...

Perceived Sufficiency of Physical Activity Levels Among Adults at High Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: The FIN-D2D Study2014 •
El desarrollo del talento humano como ventaja competitiva es un tema relevante hoy, mañana y lo será siempre porque convivimos con la crisis económica y social, trasformaciones de empresa, despidos, pero todas aquellas empresas que hayan interiorizado la importancia de contar con los mejores equipos humanos y de construir el compromiso con sus profesionales gozarán de posiciones privilegiadas. El talento es un activo estratégico de las empresas. El nuevo paradigma empresarial está centrado en las personas y en los resultados. En la medida en que se cree en él y se actúe en consecuencia –no solo de palabra– se podrán aumentar los beneficios e incrementar la satisfacción personal. La felicidad parece que está muy cerca de nuestras potencialidades y si una organización nos ofrece la oportunidad para conseguirlo, nuestra autorrealización será aún mayor. Así pues, podemos decir que la gestión del talento ayuda a alcanzar resultados y, de paso, felicidad personal. En la actualidad, las compañías han de basar su ventaja competitiva en estrategias que se apoyen en la cercanía con el cliente, en la velocidad de respuesta y, por supuesto, en la capacidad de innovación. El centro es el cliente El centro de actividad de una empresa es el cliente y nada tiene sentido si no supone un beneficio para él. Las empresas se tienen que esforzar en ofrecer productos y servicios de mayor calidad y con mayor agilidad. Los clientes son cada vez más exigentes, lo que obliga a las empresas a ser más flexibles, eficientes y a tener mayor capacidad de reacción. Aquellas instituciones que sepan ser innovadoras, creen nuevos productos o se adentren en océanos azules, podrán diferenciarse de sus competidores. Pero para ello, es necesario una pieza fundamental: el talento. El activo más valioso El talento es el activo más valioso de las compañías. Tanto es así que vivimos en lo que se ha denominado " La guerra por el talento ". En la actualidad, las compañías compiten en varios frentes: por una parte, captando y fidelizando a los clientes (externos); y por otro lado, atrayendo y comprometiendo a los profesionales (interno). En la medida que una empresa sea capaz de crear valor para sus profesionales, será capaz de crear valor para sus clientes. La importancia del talento no es una moda, sino una necesidad. Sin embargo, se ha convertido en un activo cada vez más escaso. Siendo el talento el recurso más valioso y escaso, es, con frecuencia el peor gerenciado. Probablemente porque el talento es un recurso que los humanos solo aportamos si queremos. Con frecuencia olvidamos que el talento no solo consiste en conocimiento y capacidades, sino además en compromiso y acción. Todos ellos juntos son los que proporcionan resultados excelentes. Cada día, al finalizar la jornada de trabajo, el talento sale de la empresa y se va a dormir a casa. Es, por tanto, un activo que pertenece a la persona y que ha de ser bien dirigido y administrado por los líderes organizativos que se precian de gerenciar eficazmente
