Prospective Associations of Accelerometer-Assessed Physical Activity With Mortality and Incidence of Cardiovascular Disease Among Adults With Hypertension: The UK Biobank Study.

ABSTRACT: Background Despite the well-established capacity of physical activity to reduce blood pressure, the associations between physical activity with cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and mortality in people living with hypertension are not well understood. We examine the dose-response associations of device-assessed physical activity with all-cause and CVD mortality and CVD incidence (total, stroke, and coronary heart disease) in adults with hypertension. Methods and Results This prospective study included data from 39 294 participants with hypertension in the UK Biobank study who had valid accelerometry data and for whom mortality and CVD followed-up data were available. We categorized moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and total physical activity volume into 4 categories based on the
