A new study suggests that going beyond current guidance on moderate and vigorous physical activity levels may add years to one's life.
from the Copenhagen City Heart Study also reported a U-shaped association between long-term all-cause mortality and 0 to 2.5 hours and more than 10 hours of weekly, leisure-time sports activities.
Most were White , 63% were female, and the average age and body mass index over follow-up was 66 years and 26 kg/mThe analysis found that individuals who met the guideline for long-term vigorous physical activity cut their adjusted risk of death from cardiovascular disease by a whopping 31%, from non-CVD causes by 15%, and all-causes by 19%, compared with those with no long-term vigorous activity.
The analysis also found that individuals who met the guidelines for moderate physical activity had lower CVD, non-CVD, and all-cause mortality risks whether they were active 150-244 min/week or 225-299 min/week , compared with those with almost no long-term moderate activity. "The sweet spot seems to be two to four times the recommended levels but for people who are sedentary, I think one of the key messages that I give my patients is that any effort is worthwhile; that any physical activity, even less than the recommended, has some mortality reduction," Erin Michos, MD, MHS, associate director of preventive cardiology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland, said in an interview.
Former AHA president Donna Arnett, PhD, MSPH, who was not involved in the study, said in a statement that"we've known for a long time that moderate or intense levels of physical exercise can reduce a person's risk of both"We have also seen that getting more than 300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity or more than 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical exercise each week may reduce a person's risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease...
Sensitivity analyses also showed a consistent association between long-term leisure physical activity and mortality without adjustment for BMI/calorie intake.
