Abstract

The article presents a study on the relationship between subdomains of total physical activity and mortality. The study aims to describe the association of physical activity on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. It investigates the uncertainty that such association varies according to the domain of life in which the activity takes place. It examined 14,903 participants from England and accounted that 1128 deaths with 370 from cardiovascular disease happened in a span of seven years. The result indicated that physical activities at home and during exercise are related to lower risk of mortality.
