Leisure-time physical activity, daily sitting time, and risk of mortality among CVD patients: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality globally. While leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and daily sitting time (DST) are known modulators of health, their combined impact on mortality risk specifically among CVD patients warrants further investigation. This study aimed to examine the independent and joint associations of LTPA and DST with mortality in a nationally representative sample of US adults with CVD.

Methods

This prospective cohort study included 2,335 adults with CVD (weighted mean age 61.56 years; 57.12% male) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2018, followed for a median of 5.75 years. LTPA was categorized as inactive (0 min/week), insufficiently active (1-<150 min/week), and sufficiently a
