BACKGROUND: Higher levels of leisure time physical activity (LTPA) are associated with
reduced mortality. However it is unclear how changes in LTPA over time impact all-cause …

Background Sedentary behavior is related to increased mortality risk. Whether such
elevated risk can be offset by enhanced physical activity has not been examined using …
