Abstract

Background: Few studies have investigated associations of acclerometer-based assessments of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its components. This prospective cohort study assessed the associations of accelerometer-measured PA and SB with total CVD, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke (IS).
Methods and Results: The authors included 16 031 women aged 62 years and older, free of CVD, with adherent accelerometer wear (
