Changes in leisure time physical activity, obesity-related morbidities, fatal and non-fatal CVD events and total mortality: Over 20-year follow-up in the opera study
Stopping LTPA in middle age was associated to higher risk for non-fatal CVD events in "occupationally physically active" individuals. Fatal CVD events were associated with a sedentary lifestyle in whole study population. Among "office workers," both a sedentary lifestyle and stopping regular LTPA were associated with higher risks of fatal CVD events and all-cause mortality.
