Dose-response association between physical activity and diagnosed hypertension in 2.4 million Korean population: Korea Community Health Survey 2009-2022.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypertension, a significant risk factor for global public health, is well-known to be preventable and manageable through physical activity (PA). However, many studies suggest that excessive PA may not provide additional benefits. Thus, we aimed to conduct a quantitative analysis of the relationship between hypertension and PA levels.

Methods

This study analyzed the association between PA and hypertension using data from 2,429,588 South Korean adults aged 30 years and older from the Korean Community Health Survey conducted from 2009 to 2022. We used weighted binary logistic regression and generalized additive models to examine the relationship, adjusting for various sociodemographic factors. PA was categorized into moderate-intensity PA (MPA) and vigorous-intensity
