Device-measured physical activity, adiposity and mortality: a harmonised meta-analysis of eight prospective cohort studies.
BackgroundThe joint associations of total and intensity-specific physical activity with obesity in relation to all-cause mortality risk are unclear.MethodsWe included 34 492 adults (72% women, median age 62.1 years, 2034 deaths during follow-up) in a harmonised meta-analysis of eight population-based prospective cohort studies with mean follow-up ranging from 6.0 to 14.5 years. Standard body mass index categories were cross-classified with sample tertiles of device-measured total, light-to-vigorous and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity and sedentary time. In five cohorts with waist circumference available, high and low waist circumference was combined with tertiles of moderate-to-vigor…
