TL;DR: Assessment of associations of sleep and minutes spent in moderate-vigorous physical activity with C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin (IL)-6 among persons living with HIV found individuals with both low MVPA and poor sleep characteristics had higher inflammation levels.
Cardiorespiratory fitness and body mass index as predictors of cardiovascular disease mortality among men with diabetes.
TL;DR: In this cohort of men with diabetes, low fitness level was associated with increased risk of CVD mortality within normal weight, overweight, and class 1 obese weight categories.
Lower Extremity Muscle Strength and Risk of Self-Reported Hip or Knee Osteoarthritis
TL;DR: It is suggested that quadriceps weakness is an independent and modifiable risk factor for lower extremity OA, and moderate isotonic leg press strength was protective for hip or knee osteoarthritis among men only.

TL;DR: Routine PA can be beneficial in helping PLWHA reduce waist circumference ultimately leading to metabolic improvements, thus reducing their risk of CVD and mortality.
The independent association between diet quality and body composition.
TL;DR: Adherence to dietary guidelines positively affects body fatness in men, independent of PA and the risk for overweight/obesity was increased with a higher protein intake.
