Physical Activity, All-Cause Mortality, and Longevity of College Alumni
TL;DR: With or without consideration of hypertension, cigarette smoking, extremes or gains in body weight, or early parental death, alumni mortality rates were significantly lower among the physically active than among less active men.

TL;DR: Starting moderately vigorous sports activity, quitting cigarette smoking, maintaining normal blood pressure, and avoiding obesity were separately associated with lower rates of death from all causes and from coronary heart disease among middle-aged and older men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity as an index of heart attack risk in college alumni
TL;DR: Ex-varsity athletes retained lower risk only if they maintained a high physical activity index as alumni, and peak exertion as strenuous sports play enhanced the effect of total energy expenditure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity and incidence of hypertension in college alumni
TL;DR: Varying levels of vigorous exercise are associated with lower hypertension incidence, and, without necessarily altering body weight-for-height, avoids or reduces fat and promotes muscle; obesity, rather than excess weight- for- height, is associated with higher hypertension incidence; hence, vigorous exercise is appropriate for use as an intervention regimen in the prevention of hypertension.
Journal Article
Measurement of physical activity to assess health effects in free-living populations : Assessment of physical activity
TL;DR: The epidemiological survey questionnaire, when properly designed and administered, can measure effectively energy intake, energy retention, energy expenditure, physiological fitness, quality of life, and health maintenance.
