Physical Activity and All-Cause Mortality by Age in 4 Multinational Megacohorts.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Physical activity (PA) guidelines recommend the same amount of PA through adulthood to live longer.

Objective

To explore whether there is an age-dependent association between PA and all-cause mortality and to investigate the age-dependent associations between other modifiable health factors (high educational level, not smoking, not regularly consuming alcohol, healthy body weight, and living without hypertension and diabetes) and mortality.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study used a pooled analysis of 4 population-based prospective cohorts (National Health Interview Survey, 1997-2018; UK Biobank, 2006-2010; China Kadoorie Biobank, 2004-2008; and Mei Jau, 1997-2016). Data were analyzed from June 2022 to September 2024.
