Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between physical activity (PA) and risk of mortality in a large middle-aged cohort stratified by inflammatory status.

PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 336,560 individuals (mean age, 39.7 years; 58% male) who underwent comprehensive health screenings were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. They were grouped according to self-reported PA level using a questionnaire: no regular PA with a sedentary lifestyle, regular but insufficient PA (below the guidelines), sufficient PA (concordant with the guidelines), and health-enhancing PA. Inflammation was assessed via high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) level. Study end points were all-cause, cardiovascular-related, and cancer-related mortality.

RESULTS: During the 1,976,882 person-years of follow-up (median follow-up duration, 6.17 years), 2062 deaths occurred. Compared with a sedentary lifestyle, the hazard ratios (95% CIs) on the multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses for all-cause mortality by PA level were 0.95 (0.84-1.07), 0.85 (0.72-0.99), and 0.75 (0.60-0.93) (P for trend=.003), and those for cardiovascular- and cancer-related mortality were 0.95, 0.80, and 0.55 (P for trend=.05) and 0.82, 0.83, and 0.78 (P for trend=.01), respectively. Compared with participants with low hsCRP levels and any regular PA, those with high hsCRP levels and no regular PA had a significantly higher risk of mortality (1.59 [1.38-1.84]).

CONCLUSION: Higher PA levels were associated with a dose-dependent reduced risk of cardiovascular-related, cancer-related, and all-cause mortality. Individuals with high hsCRP levels and no regular PA had the highest risk of mortality.
