Annals of Internal Medicine, 178(12), 1718-1727. https://doi.org/10.7326/ANNALS-25-015470003-48191539-3704https://hdl.handle.net/11268/16720Although physical activity recommendations increasingly consider daily step counts, it remains unclear whether step accumulation patterns—short versus sustained longer bouts—affect associations with mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) among suboptimally active populations. This study aims to examine associations of step accumulation patterns with all-cause mortality and CVD incidence in persons with 8000 or fewer daily steps.engFactores de riesgo de enfermedad cardiacaEjercicio físicoMortalidadjournal article10.7326/ANNALS-25-01547embargoed accessEnfermedad cardiovascularMortalidadInvestigación médicaGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
