Volume of Light Versus Moderate‐to‐Vigorous Physical Activity: Similar Benefits for All‐Cause Mortality?

BACKGROUND: of light and moderate-to-vigorous PA in relation to all-cause mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS: trend ≤0.05) for AC >187.9, when compared with the referent group (AC ≤50.8). Results examining various combinations of light and moderate-to-vigorous intensity-specific volumes demonstrated the strong influence of total activity on mortality risk. CONCLUSIONS: In this population, increasing light PA was associated with less mortality, but at an approximately equal volume of PA, moderate-to-vigorous PA appeared to have greater benefits.
