ABSTRACT
We examined the joint association of physical activity (PA) and socio-economic status (SES) on all-causes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in 6945 elderly Koreans (mean age 71.6 years, 41.8% male) using data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2013) and death data from Statistics Korea (2019). The SES included household income and education level. PA was assessed using the IPAQ and categorized according to the 2018 PA Guidelines. In stratified analyses using Cox proportional hazards by SES adherence to PA guidelines those who low household income group was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality and CVD mortality, while in the lowest educational level group, it was associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality and CVD mortality. In the joint analysis, PA was associated with a significant reduction in all-cause mortality in all groups when compared with those who did not meet PA those who had the lowest SES. However, PA with CVD mortality risk was not significantly associated in the 'upper-middle' income and 'high school' education groups. The study revealed that PA significantly association mortality, particularly among older adults with low SES. This finding suggests the potential for targeted government interventions to promote healthy aging.
