Prevalence of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Among Adults With Cardiovascular Disease in the United States
Key result
Adults with cardiovascular disease engaged in only 8.6-11.4 min/day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and had higher sedentary behavior compared to adults without cardiovascular disease.

Implication
Low MVPA and excess sedentary time in CVD underscore secondary prevention gaps; leaves open whether interventions improve outcomes.

What is the prevalence of physical activity and sedentary behavior among adults with cardiovascular disease compared to those without?
P
Population
1,680 adults (680 with cardiovascular disease and 1,000 without) from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2003-2006).
C
Comparator
Adults without cardiovascular disease (n=1000) with similar age, gender, and race/ethnic distributions.
O
Outcome
Prevalence of self-reported and accelerometer-measured physical activity and sedentary behaviorpatient reported
Adults with cardiovascular disease engage in significantly less physical activity and more sedentary behavior than adults without cardiovascular disease, highlighting a gap in secondary prevention efforts.
Cite This Study
Evenson et al. (2014) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular disease (n=1,680). Cardiovascular disease vs. No cardiovascular disease was evaluated on Self-reported and accelerometer-measured physical activity and sedentary behavior. Adults with cardiovascular disease engaged in only 8.6-11.4 min/day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and had higher sedentary behavior compared to adults without cardiovascular disease.
