Is all physical activity equal? Investigating the total and domain-specific relationships between physical activity and cardiometabolic health in U.S. adults (NHANES 2013-2018).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. Physical activity (PA) reduces the likelihood of MetS, but it is a complex behavior and is accumulated in multiple domains.

Purpose

To cross-sectionally investigate the total and domain-specific relationships between PA and MetS in U.S. adults.

Methods

Data from 3,408 adults participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013-2018) were analyzed. Blood pressure (BP), waist circumference (WC), fasting blood glucose (GLU), triglycerides (TRIG), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were measured. MetS and its risk factors were the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. Weekly minutes of total PA and domain-specific PA (i.e., leisure-time
