Week 5 Collaboration cafe
Topic : Physical activity from young adulthood to middle age and premature
cardiovascular disease events: a 30-year population-based cohort study
Credibility
1. Who developed the CPG?
This study was developed by 2018 Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
Physical Activity Guidelines Scientific Advisory Committee.
2. Who funded the CPG?
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) of the United States of America
provided funding for the preparation of the HHS Physical Activity Guidelines. This is a federal
government agency tasked with promoting public health in the United States.
3. Has the CPG been peer-reviewed?
Yes, the 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines underwent a peer review procedure. This
procedure involves the publishing of a report by the Scientific Advisory Committee, which was
then evaluated by the appropriate stakeholders and professionals in the field, such as researchers
and policymakers, to ensure that the guidelines are founded on the most credible data that is
currently available.
Comprehensiveness
1. What method was used to identify, select, or combine evidence?
The 2018 Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Physical Activity Guidelines
were developed using a systematic and evidence-based approach. The Scientific Advisory
Committee reviewed the available scientific research, including studies on physical exercise and
its implications on various health outcomes.
2. Was a current, comprehensive literature review included?
Yes, a comprehensive review of the literature was included. The Scientific Advisory
Committee reviewed the most current and relevant data available at the time, examining a wide
range of studies on the impact of physical activity on cardiovascular health, metabolic disorders,
musculoskeletal health, and overall mortality.
3. Were all important options considered?
Yes, the guidelines reviewed a wide variety of physical exercise options that could be
recommended to different demographic data. The guidelines also took into account age-specific
recommendations for children, adults, and older persons, as well as those suffering from chronic
diseases or disabilities.
4. Is the strength of evidence noted for each recommendation?
Yes, the recommendations describe the strength of evidence for each recommendation.
The evidence was categorized based on the quality and consistency of the findings, with varying
levels of strength assigned to various suggestions, providing transparency and context for the
guidelines.
Applicability and generalizability:
1. Is the intent of use provided?
Yes, the intent of use is clearly provided in the 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines. The
guidelines intend to provide evidence-based recommendations for physical activity throughout
the lifespan to improve general health, prevent chronic diseases, and increase quality of life.
2. Are the recommendations clinically relevant?
