Sedentary Behavior, Exercise, and Cardiovascular Health
Why the study?
Sedentary behavior and physical inactivity are leading modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality, necessitating the promotion of physical activity and exercise training across populations.
Does physical activity and exercise training prevent cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality compared to sedentary behavior?

Structured PICO
Does physical activity and exercise training prevent cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality compared to sedentary behavior?
P
Population
General population across all age groups, races, ethnicities, and both sexes, as well as patients with heart failure
I

Physical activity, exercise training (ET), and improved cardiorespiratory fitness
C
Comparator
Sedentary behavior and physical inactivity
