Is objective physical activity associated with reduced all-cause mortality when accounting for behavioral and metabolic health factors in the AHA Life's Essential 8?
While higher overall AHA Life's Essential 8 scores are associated with reduced mortality, objective physical activity alone loses its independent association when adjusting for other behavioral and metabolic factors.
Higher AHA LE8 scores, with objective measures of PA, are associated with reduced mortality. Objective PA was not associated with all-cause mortality when accounting for behavioral and metabolic health factors.
