Observational findings reveal that timing of physical activity influences mortality risk in adults, suggesting new public health guidelines.
Among adults meeting MVPA guidelines, a midday-active pattern was associated with lower all-cause mortality independent of MVPA volume. Secondary comparisons confirm the broad benefit of meeting MVPA guidelines regardless of timing. These findings support considering both activity volume and timing when tailoring physical-activity guidance.
