Physical Activity and Hypertension From Young Adulthood to Middle Age.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The optimum physical activity dose to achieve during young adulthood to prevent hypertension using the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines remains undefined. This study aims to determine the association between level and change in physical activity through the adult life course and the onset of hypertension using these 2017 definitions.

Methods

In 2020, prospective community-based cohort data of 5,115 Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study participants were analyzed. The cohort included Black and White men and women aged 18-30 years at baseline (1985-1986) at 4 urban sites, collected through 30 years of follow-up (2015-2016). Individualized physical activity trajectories were developed for each participant us
