Research summary

The paper claims that leisure-time physical activity trajectories across adulthood are associated with cardiometabolic risk at age 61. This research is relevant as it explores the long-term effects of physical activity on metabolic health, which is crucial for understanding factors that can influence longevity and age-related diseases.
