Cumulative incidence rates of heart failure by tertile of physical activity
| Outcome | Physical activity level | HF events/ person-years of follow-up | Age- and-sex adjusted 10-year cumulative incidence (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overall HF | First tertile | 95/2594 | 0.20 (0.14–0.25) |
| Second tertile | 80/3082 | 0.16 (0.11– 0.21) | |
| Third tertile | 75/3417 | 0.10 (0.06–0.13) | |
| HFPEF | First tertile | 45/2594 | 0.10 (0.05–0.15) |
| Second tertile | 25/3082 | 0.06 (0.02, 0.09) | |
| Third tertile | 38/3417 | 0.04 (0.01–0.06) | |
| HFREF | First tertile | 38/2594 | 0.09 (0.04–0.13) |
| Second tertile | 38/3082 | 0.09 (0.05–0.13) | |
| Third tertile | 30/3417 | 0.05 (0.02, 0.08) |
CI, confidence interval; HF, heart failure; HFPEF, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; HFREF, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
