Association between physical activity and mortality in postmenopausal women: evidence from NHANES 2007-2018

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between physical activity (PA) levels and mortality in postmenopausal women using data from NHANES 2007-2018. Their findings indicate that both total physical activity and leisure-time physical activity are associated with reduced risks of all-cause and non-cardiovascular disease mortality, suggesting that promoting adequate physical activity may enhance healthy aging in this demographic.
