Wen writes, "We were not able to identify an upper limit of physical activity, either moderate or vigorous, above which more harm than good will occur in terms of long-term life expectancy benefits".
Simon Thompson and Peter Willeit from the University of Cambridge point out in a linked comment in the journal that the questionnaire may be appealingly simple but it reveals nothing about people's long-term life expectancy or their likely quality of life.
Long-term life expectancy was calculated on the basis of age-and sex-specific mortality rates from standard U.S. life-tables of the general population[35].
In addition to reducing long-term life expectancy, obesity is associated with substantial morbidity, disability, and impairment of quality of life.
We recognize revision procedures will be necessary for patients with long-term life expectancy, and the need for continued improvement in reconstruction techniques and implant design, as high-grade disease-specific survival rates may continue to improve.
No adjustment was made for the effect that social deprivation might have had on long-term outcome: life expectancy is strongly related to index of deprivation and therefore this may have influenced postoperative survival.
In the countries with the highest life expectancies, the long term increase in life expectancy proceeds at a pace of 2.5 years per 10 years, or six hours per day [ 4].
However, both under- and overnutrition may seriously impact long term health and life expectancy.
LED lighting is superior to existing incandescent and fluorescent lighting in terms of the long life expectancy, high tolerance to humidity, minimal heat generation, and low power consumption.
Next-generation LED lighting has more advantages than existing fluorescent and incandescent lighting in terms of its long life expectancy, high tolerance to humidity, low-power consumption, and minimal heat generation.
Since most of the patients are going to be long-term survivors with high life expectancy, long-term sequelae (Strumberg et al, 2002), side effects and secondary morbidities (Hartmann et al, 1999, 2000), as well as psychosocial difficulties, sexual life problems and quality-of-life (QL) issues have become the major long-term complications of testicular cancer treatment.
