The association of physical activity fragmentation with all-cause mortality in Hispanics: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physical activity fragmentation represents the frequency of transitioning from an active to sedentary state. The prognostic information of physical activity fragmentation is unclear in Hispanics/Latinos. This study examined the association of PA fragmentation with all-cause mortality in Hispanic/Latino adults.

Methods

We investigated 11,992 participants from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) (18-74 yr; 52.2% women), from four United States urban communities (Bronx, New York; Chicago, Illinois; Miami, Florida; San Diego, California), that wore an accelerometer for one week. Physical activity fragmentation was calculated using the active-to-sedentary transition probability (ASTP) as the reciprocal of the average active bout duration. Da
