    More intense activity linked to lower cardiovascular disease risk

    Participants exceeding 69.8 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity daily had a hazard ratio—a measure of relative risk—of 0.68 compared with the lowest activity group.Participants exceeding 69.8 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity daily had a hazard ratio—a measure of relative risk—of 0.68 compared with the lowest activity group.
