Association between physical activity levels and mortality across adiposity: A longitudinal study of age-specific Asian populations.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This study investigated the association of physical activity (PA) levels with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality risks stratified by adiposity and age.

Methods

Participants (36 703; mean age: 49.1; 57.1% women) were selected from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007-2013. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to examine the association between PA and mortality across different adiposity categories and ages.

Results

Median follow-up was 9.22 years; 2393 individuals died, including 538 with CVD. Compared with normal-weight controls, underweight individuals had increased all-cause mortality risk (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.60, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.33-1.79). The overweight and obese groups demonstrated reduced mort
