Relative Intensity of Physical Activity and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease
Abstract
Background— Current recommendations prescribe at least moderate-intensity physical activity, requiring ≥3 METs (metabolic equivalents) for ≥30 minutes almost daily, generating ≈1000 kcal/wk. Defining intensity using an absolute scale in METs may be limited because it neglects variations in physical fitness: an activity requiring a particular MET value commands greater physical effort among less fit than more fit persons. It is unknown whether moderate-intensity exercise, relative to an individual’s capacity, is associated with reduced coronary heart disease (CHD) rates. Methods and Results— We followed 7337 men (mean age, 66 years) from 1988 to 1995. At baseline, men reported their actual activities and, using the Borg Scale, the perceived level of exertion when exercising (relative intensity). During follow-up, 551 men developed CHD. After multivariate adjustment, the relative risks of CHD among men who perceived their exercise exertion as “moderate,” “somewhat strong,” and “strong” or more intense were 0.86 (95% confidence interval, 0.66 to 1.13), 0.69 (0.51 to 0.94), and 0.72 (0.52 to 1.00), respectively ( P trend =0.02), compared with “weak” or less intense. This inverse association extended to men not fulfilling current recommendations, ie, expending <1000 kcal/wk in physical activity or not engaging in activities of ≥3 METs ( P trend =0.03 and 0.007, respectively). Conclusions— There is an inverse association between relative intensity of physical activity (an individual’s perceived level of exertion) and risk of CHD, even among men not satisfying current activity recommendations. Recommendations for “moderate”-intensity physical activity may need to consider individual fitness levels instead of globally prescribing activities of ≥3 METs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
