Association of leisure time physical activity types and risks of all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality among older adults
EL Watts, CE Matthews, JR Freeman… - JAMA Network …, 2022 - jamanetwork.com
Importance Higher amounts of physical activity are associated with increased longevity.
However, whether different leisure time physical activity types are differentially associated
with mortality risk is not established. Objectives To examine whether participation in
equivalent amounts of physical activity (7.5 to< 15 metabolic equivalent of task [MET] hours
per week) through different activity types is associated with mortality risk and to investigate
the shape of the dose-response association. Design, Setting, and Participants Participants in …
