Associations of total, domain-specific, and intensity-specific physical activity with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in China: A population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence of an association between physical activity (PA) and mortality has mainly focused on leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA). We aimed to assess the associations of total, domain-specific, and intensity-specific PA with all-cause and cause-specific mortality.

Methods

We used baseline PA data from the China Kadoorie Biobank, including 482,067 participants aged 30-79 years from 10 areas in China. PA via self-report was quantified as a metabolic equivalent of task hours per day. Total PA was calculated by summing occupational, commuting, household, and leisure-time PA, and domain- and intensity-specific PAs were also calculated. Cox regression was used to estimate the associations of quintiles of diff
