There is evidence that low to moderate levels of physical activity can reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, even though they do not produce substantial changes in cardiorespiratory function. In this study of a representative population sample of 5,930 adult men and women, participants in moderate-intensity activities, such as walking and climbing stairs, were compared with nonparticipants. Men and women who reported more moderate activities were less overweight than sedentary peers. Moderate activity was associated with more risk factor benefits in men than in women. The apparent health benefits of moderate-intensity physical activity have implications for public health education.
