Energy balance
Each 100 MET-min/wk increase in accelerometry-measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) from baseline to 4 years is associated with decreased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes.
Encouraging long-term engagement in MVPA can help reduce CVD risk in this population.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
In pooled analyses of all participants, using Cox proportional hazards models, each 100 MET-min/wk increase in accelerometry-measured MVPA from baseline to 4 years was associated with decreased risk of the subsequent primary composite outcome of CVD.
Why this rating
Based on the large randomized controlled trial design.
