Associations Between Physical Activity Patterns and Cardiovascular Events and Risk Factors: Cross-Sectional and Prospective Studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Moderate-intensity physical activity (PA) is recommended for health benefits, but optimal PA timing regarding cardiovascular disease (CVD) is debated.

Objectives

The authors assessed the impact of differing PA patterns on CVD risk factors and outcomes.

Methods

Data from 2 surveys (S1 and S2) of the CoLaus-PsyCoLaus study (2,465 and 1,692 participants, respectively; 55.3% [54.3%] females; mean age 61.2 ± 9.7 years [64.4 ± 9.5]), conducted in Lausanne, Switzerland. PA was assessed using a wrist-worn accelerometer, and PA patterns were assessed using K-means clustering.

Results

Morning PA was positively associated with hypertension (multivariable-adjusted OR: 1.36 [95% CI: 1.00-1.84]) in S1, similar trend in S2. No significant association was found betw
