Objectively measured physical activity and all cause mortality: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Researchers evaluated the relationship between an objective measure of physical activity and all-cause mortality in this systematic review and meta-analysis of published cohort studies. They searched for prospective cohort studies that investigated the correlation between objectively measured (accelerometer, pedometer, or doubly labeled water method) physical activity and mortality in adults aged ≥ 18 years, of either gender in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane library, and SPORTDiscus. In the analysis, 33 articles from 15 cohort studies were distinguished that together had 3,903 deaths. The study found a lower summary hazard ratio for objectively measured physical activity and all-cause mortality than previously estimated from questionnaire-based studies. The data revealed that the current recommendations for physical activity that are based on subjective measurement may underestimate the true reduction in mortality risk correlated with physical activity. Compared to individuals in the lowest category of light, moderate-to-vigorous, and total physical activity, individuals in the highest category of light, moderate-to-vigorous, and total physical activity had 40%, 56%, and 67%, respectively, lower risk for mortality .
