Moderate and vigorous physical exercise decreases mortality.
Around 400,000 people in the U.S. were followed over a duration of 10 years.
36,861 deaths occurred, with 7,634 deaths being from cardiovascular disease and 8,902 from cancer in 10 years.
34.3% of the participants did no physical activity.
Physical activity decreased the risk of death by all causes, including CVD disease and cancer.
Lowest risk of death was for people exercising between 150 and 299 minutes/week with moderate-intensity physical exercise or 150 minutes or more of vigorous physical exercise.
