Association of nighttime physical activity with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality: Results from the NHANES.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nighttime physical activity (PA) has significant effects on human health. Whether excessive nighttime PA is associated with adverse long-term prognosis remains unknown.

Methods

Three thousand six hundred ninety adults from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2006 with accelerometer monitor recording PA data were included. Nighttime PA was quantified by the nighttime to all-day PA intensity ratio (NAPAIR). Participants with the NAPAIR above the population median (0.17) were defined as the nighttime active population (NAP), otherwise as the daytime active population. All-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality status was acquired from the US National Death Index from their interview and physical examination date through December
