- Increased sedentary behavior (SB) is linked to higher all-cause mortality risk in older adults from both China and UK cohorts.
- Replacing 30 minutes of SB with physical activity (PA) reduces mortality risk, with light, moderate, and vigorous PA all showing protective associations.
- Vigorous PA offers the greatest mortality risk reduction in the UK cohort, while all intensities provide comparable benefits in the China cohort.
- Findings emphasize the importance of tailored, population-specific physical activity guidelines for promoting healthy aging in diverse older adult populations.
