Physical activity is associated with reduced all-cause mortality in an inverse dose-response pattern and reduced cardiovascular events across all blood pressure levels.
Abstract
<0.001). At all levels of blood pressure, the risk of cardiovascular events was significantly reduced independent of the level of physical activity. In conclusion, the association between physical activity and all-cause mortality was present in an inverse dose-response pattern at all levels of blood pressure. Physical activity was associated with reduction in cardiovascular events independent of the level of physical activity.
