Dose-response association of an accelerometer-measured physical activity with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease incidence: Prospective cohort with 76,074 participants

Significant, but small, risk reductions in all-cause mortality and CVD incidence can be achieved with as little as 10 and 15 min of MVPA per week, respectively. However, public health organizations should promote the attainment of 250 min of MVPA per week (with 100 min as a possible first target for inactive individuals), as these thresholds are associated with the greatest efficiency. Beyond that, less pronounced risk reductions can be achieved by accumulating additional MVPA, with hardly any additional benefits beyond 500 weekly minutes.
