Objective: Few studies estimated the effect of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among hypertensive patients in a longitudinal cohort. This study aims to evaluate the association between LTPA and CVD in a longitudinal management cohort of hypertensive patients.Methods: A total of 58,167 hypertensive patients without baseline CVD from a longitudinal cohort were included in this study. LTPA and other covariates were measured at the follow-up four times annually. The primary outcome was CVD events. The association between LTPA and CVD was assessed by the marginal structure model (MSM) and Cox model with adjustment for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), smoking, drinking, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and antihypertensive medication. The restricted cubic spline and segmented regression were used to assess the dose–response relationship between LTPA and CVD.Results: We recorded 16,332 CVD events; crude incidence of CVD were 89.68, 80.39, 62.64, and 44.04 per 1,000 person-years for baseline 0, 1–150, 151–300, and >300 min/week LTPA, respectively. Compared with inactive LTPA, the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) estimated by Cox model and MSM-Cox model for CVD associated with 1–150,151–300, and 300 min/week LTPA were 0.85 (95% CI, 0.83–0.88), 0.67 (95% CI, 0.64–0.71), 0.47 (95% CI, 0.44–0.51), and 0.83 (95% CI, 0.76–0.91), 0.58 (95% CI, 0.52–0.63), and 0.39 (95% CI, 0.35–0.44), respectively. Per 60 min/week increase in LTPA was associated with a 13% reduction in CVD risk. LTPA breakpoint was 417 min/week for CVD. Before and after the break-point, the slopes of the piecewise-linear relationship between LTPA and CVD risk were −0.0017 and −0.0003, respectively.Conclusion: LTPA was more strongly associated with the CVD risk than that estimated by conventional analyses based on baseline LTPA; 417 min/week is a breakpoint, after which the incremental health benefits on CVD prevention obtained from the increase in LTPA are much less than before.

Background: Little is known about the role of occupational-related physical activity and risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Aims: This study aimed to assess the association between different types of physical activity (work-related, transport-related, home-time and leisure-time) and risk factors for cardiovascular disease in a sample of Iranian workers. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from February to November 2018 among 415 workers of a rubber factory in Tehran province. Physical activity levels of the participants were measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Blood sample were analysed for cardiovascular disease risk factors (fasting blood sugar ≥ 100 mg/dL, triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dL, total cholesterol ≥ 200 mg/dL, systolic blood pressure ≥ 130 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure ≥ 85 mmHg and waist circumference ≥ 102 cm). Alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were also measured, as was body mass index (BMI). Results: Risk factors for cardiovascular disease differed significantly according to type of physical activity. Fasting blood sugar ≥ 100 mg/dL and BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 had a significant negative association with overall physical activity level (P < 0.001). In a logistic regression analysis, leisure-time physical activity had a significant negative correlation with all risk factors for cardiovascular disease after adjusting for age and smoking. Conclusion: Leisure-time physical activity has a more important role in reducing cardiovascular disease risk factors than other types of activity, including work-related physical activity.

Introduction: Physical inactivity is considered as one of the factors to increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and decrease aerobic fitness mainly in middle-age. Increased habitual physical activity (HPA) is one of the strategies recommended to reduce physical inactivity. However, it is not known whether middle-age individuals who exclusively perform greater amount of HPA have greater aerobic fitness and / or a lower risk of CVDs. Objective: Verify the association between HPA with the risk of CVDs and aerobic fitness in individuals who only perform HPA. Method: We selected 89 male volunteers, age: 47.4 ± 5.06 years, who did not practice systemized physical training. Our measurements were: HPA by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and Baecke questionnaires, the aerobic fitness by direct assessment of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 máx) and the risk of developing cardiovascular disease by the score calculation of General Cardiovascular Risk Profile from Framingham Study. Results: There was no correlation of the HPA level with cardiovascular risk factors, general cardiovascular disease risk and VO2 máx. Moreover, no difference was found between the categorical groups of the IPAQ questionnaire and between the groups, “clusters”, calculated from the Baecke questionnaire scores for the variables of cardiovascular risk, general cardiovascular disease risk and VO2 máx. Conclusion: This study have found that the HPA level of middle-aged men is not associated with lower cardiovascular risk profile or higher aerobic fitness, suggesting that only increase HPA may not be enough to promote beneficial adaptations in aerobic fitness and improve risk profile for CVDs. These results may be related to low volume and intensity of HPA, which reinforces the importance of performing physical training with control of these variables for health promotion.
