Impact of Physical Activity on All-Cause Mortality According to Specific Cardiovascular Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) tend to have higher mortality rates and reduced physical activity (PA). We aimed to evaluate the effect of PA on mortality in older adults with specific CVD.

Methods

We enrolled 68,223 participants (n = 23,871 with CVD, n = 44,352 without CVD) aged ≥65 years with available physical activity data between 2005 and 2012 from the Korean National Health Insurance Service of Korea-Senior database. CVD was defined as a history of ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and peripheral artery disease.

Results

Patients with CVD were older than those without CVD. Compared with the sedentary group, the physically active groups with and without CVD had a lower incidence an
