Associations Between Physical Activity Patterns and Cardiovascular Events and Risk Factors

Participants had their physical activity objectively assessed for 7 days. They were regrouped into 4 clusters according to their relative daily physical activity patterns. Multivariable analysis after a median of 46 months of follow-up found an association of early morning PA and CVD events, also for participants with no PA peak during the day (results according to adjusted model 2 outcome analysis). CVD = cardiovascular disease; PA = physical activity.
