Long-term changes in body weight and physical activity in relation to all-cause and cardiovascular mortality: the HUNT study

摘要

BackgroundMost previous studies have relied on single measurements of body weight and physical activity and have not considered the interplay between long-term changes in body weight and physical activity in relation to mortality. The aim of the current study was therefore to examine the joint effect of changes in body weight and leisure-time physical activity over a period of ~ 10 years on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
