Assessing the causal impact of leisure-time physical activity and screen time on lifespan: a Mendelian randomization study.
Abstract
Observational studies have consistently shown physical activity associated with lower mortality. Randomized controlled trials to confirm the value of physical activity for lifespan in the general population are challenging to conduct. To address this gap, we conducted a Mendelian Randomization (MR) study, using the largest available suitable studies and control outcomes.
