Physical activity in youth and cardiovascular disease risk in later-life: Mediation by mid-life factors in a large cohort of Swedish adults
Youth refraining from participating in physical education class could be considered a risk group for later-life CVD. Mediation analyses suggest that engaging in only physical education or with additional physical activity outside school in youth, may confer more healthy behaviour in mid-life, which explain the lower CVD risk.
