Association between physical activity domains and cardiovascular diseases among US adults: evidence from NHANES 2007-2020.

ABSTRACT: This study examined the associations between different domains of physical activity, leisure-time (LTPA), occupational (OPA), and transportation-related (TPA), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among U.S. adults. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2008 through March 2020 were used. Physical activity was self-reported using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. Weekly minutes of LTPA, OPA, and TPA were calculated and categorized as: <150, 150-299, and ≥ 300 min. CVD was defined as self- or proxy-reported heart failure, coronary heart disease, angina, heart attack, or stroke. Weighted multivariable logistic regression was used to assess associations. Six sensitivity analyses were conducted. Meeting the physical activity guidelines (≥ 150 mi
