Summary

Professor Jason Gill is a Professor of Cardiometabolic Health in the Institute of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences at the University of Glasgow. He leads an active multi-disciplinary research group investigating the effects of exercise and diet on the prevention and management of vascular and metabolic diseases from the molecular to the whole-body level.

He is a past Chair of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) Division of Physical Activity for Health and a member of the development groups for the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) guidelines for the prevention and treatment of obesity and for prevention of cardiovascular disease.

In this episode we discuss:

Strength and chronic disease risk
Discrepancy between self-report and objective measurements of physical activity
Regression dilution bias: If you measure something poorly you diminish the apparent association with the outcome
The EuroFIT randomized controlled trial
The amount of exercise needed to get to a point of low absolute risk of cardiometabolic disease is more for high-risk populations vs. low-risk populations
Why if you have a higher genetic risk for obesity, then lifestyle matters more, not less
Should there be differential guidelines for activity based on race/ethnicity?
Interaction between degree of social deprivation, lifestyle and health outcomes
Why reducing sitting time may not be a useful target

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of Sigma Nutrition Radio.
0:18.3	You're very welcome to the podcast.
0:20.3	This is episode 369. As always, I am Danny Lennon,
0:26.6	and today I'm going to be chatting with Professor Jason Gill, who is a professor of cardiometabolic
0:33.4	health in the Institute of Cardiovascular and Medical Sciences at the University of Glasgow.
0:39.9	And there he leads an active multidisciplinary research group investigating the effects of exercise
0:46.1	and activity and diet on the prevention and management of vascular and metabolic diseases.
0:52.8	And this is a wide range of research that goes all the way from molecular work
0:57.4	up to population-wide work in epidemiology, which Professor Gill really specializes in.
1:05.9	Professor Gill was actually on the podcast a few years ago in episode 180. And there we talked about some differences
1:15.0	in cardiometabolic disease risk across different ethnicities. Today, the focus is going to be on the
1:21.7	impact of strength, fitness, activity on cardiometabolic disease risk, so heart disease, diabetes, and so on,
1:31.0	and looking at some really interesting work that he has published in this area over the last
1:36.5	couple of years. And so there's some really fascinating research to dive through. And I think
1:41.2	you guys are really, really going to enjoy this episode.
1:45.2	The show notes are going to be over at sigmautrition.com slash episode 369.
1:50.7	So if you go there, you'll be able to get a transcript to this episode.
1:54.2	You'll be able to get more information about Professor Gill.
1:56.9	And I will also link up to any useful resources that get mentioned throughout this episode, including
2:03.2	any of the research papers that we discuss. So that will all be at sigmautrition.com
2:09.1	slash episode 369. And whilst you're there, have a look around the Sigma Nutrition site.
2:14.8	We've got lots of free resources and educational content
