Why the study?
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, highlighting the need for effective preventive strategies.
Does meeting physical activity guidelines reduce all-cause and cause-specific mortality in adults compared to insufficient physical activity?
Does meeting physical activity guidelines reduce all-cause and cause-specific mortality in adults compared to insufficient physical activity?
Meeting physical activity guidelines is associated with a significant 15% reduction in all-cause mortality, alongside reductions in cardiovascular, respiratory, and cancer mortality, irrespective of obesity status.

Supports tailored activity prescriptions in CVD prevention; extends evidence synthesis with population-specific consensus guidance.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, highlighting the need for effective preventive strategies. This consensus statement emphasizes the critical role of regular physical activity, including aerobic and muscle- strengthening exercises, in reducing key CVD risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, and insulin resistance. Recommendations are provided for the general adult population as well as specific subgroups, including older adults, pregnant and postpartum women, individuals with CVD, and those with physical limitations. The importance of reducing sedentary behavior and integrating physical activity into daily life is also addressed. Recommendations should focus on tailored interventions, supportive environments, and evidence-based policies that encourage active lifestyles. Further research specific to the Korean population will enhance the development of evidence-based, population-tailored guidelines for more effective CVD prevention in Korea.
