Joint associations of social health and movement behaviours with mortality and cardiovascular disease: an analysis of 497,544 UK biobank participants.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Poor physical activity and excessive sedentary behaviour are well-established risk factors for morbidity and mortality. In the presence of emerging social problems, including loneliness and social isolation, these risks may be even greater. We aimed to investigate the joint effects of social health and movement behaviours on mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Methods

497,544 UK Biobank participants were followed for an average of 11 years. Loneliness and social isolation were measured via self-report. Physical activity was categorised around current World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines as low (< 600 metabolic equivalent of task [MET]-mins/week), moderate (600 < 1200) and high (≥ 1200). Sedentary behaviour was classified as low (≤ 3.5 h/day), moderat
