Associations between physical activity and ankle-brachial index: the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS).

This population-based study shows that middle-aged individuals with ABI > 1.4 have the highest level of physical activity, while individuals with a lower ABI, especially those with ABI < 0.9, are less active and spend more time sedentary. Future studies are needed to understand the relationships between ABI, physical activity, and the risk of peripheral arterial and cardiovascular disease in the general population.
