This paper categorizes the many benefits of physical activity, offering information concerning the type of dose necessary to get that benefit. In 2000, Health Canada and the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, along with other agencies, sponsored a symposium to determine whether there was a dose-response relationship between physical activity and several health related outcomes. A group of 24 experts from six countries reviewed the published research on several health outcomes (all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cancer, blood pressure, body weight and body composition, bone density, blood lipids and lipoproteins, hemostatic factors, low back pain and osteoarthritis, and quality of life and independent living in the elderly, depression, and anxiety. Results showed ample evidence supporting the beneficial effects of regular physical activity on all reviewed health outcomes. There was a strong suggestion of an inverse and linear relationship between regular physical activity and rates of all-cause mortality, total cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease incidence and mortality, and incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. For other health outcomes, the dose-response relationship with physical activity was less clear. (Contains 15 references.) (SM)

Thirty-two individuals with cancer or HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) were interviewed concerning their employment related experiences and concerns. Findings indicated that the decision to tell their supervisor and/or co-workers about their health status varied substantially between individuals with HIV and those with cancer. All study participants with cancer disclosed to their employer and co-workers whereas only a third of those with HIV infection told everyone in their workplace. Most of the individuals interviewed experienced a range of reactions from people at work but most reactions were reported to be positive and supportive. More individuals with HIV infection than cancer reported examples of negative or unpleasant experiences in their interactions with others. Sixty-four percent of individuals with cancer reported receiving accommodations on their job, as compared to 50 percent of people who were HIV positive. Despite similarities in the symptoms they experienced, the manifestation of these two illnesses was described differently by participants. Strategies are suggested for individuals concerning the decision to disclose, the disclosure strategy, requesting accommodations, and rights and resources. (DB)
