physical activity epidemiology examines the relationship between PA and various outcomes, aiming to inform
public health policies and interventions to promote PA and prevent disease
physical activity any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy
expenditure
exercise planned, structured, and repetitive PA with the objective of improving or
maintaining physical fitness
types of physical activity leisure, occupation, transportation, household
father of medicine and first epidemiologist Hippocrates
Code of Hammurabi regulations on health practices and physicians (medical accountability, surgical
practices)
London Bus Study male bus drivers and conductors, relationship between PA and coronary heart
disease, assumed PA was based on occupation
Framingham Heart Study residents of Framingham, MA (30-62 years of age), identify determinants of
cardiovascular disease, used surveys and wearable devices
San Francisco Longshoremen male longshoremen working in San Francisco Bay area, relationship between PA
at work and coronary heart disease and overall mortality, assumed based on
occupation roles
Nurses' Health Study registered nurses in the US, risk factors for major chronic conditions among
women, questionnaires and surveys
Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study wide range of adults from the Cooper Clinic in Dallas, TX, impact of physical
fitness on mortality and morbidity, timed to exhaustion treadmill test and
questionnaires
Harvard Alumni Health Study male alumni from Harvard University, explore relationships between PA, longevity,
and chronic disease risk, questionnaires of types of PA converted into energy
expenditure
limitations in landmark physical activity studies lack of diversity (white, middle to upper class individuals), focus on occupational
fitness, reliance on self-report data, causality issues (associations don't establish
causality)

3 goals of epidemiology describe distribution of disease, analyze this information to identify risk factors,
prevent disease occurrence
first modern epidemiologist John Snow
risk factor any attribute or characteristic of an individual that increases or decreases the
likelihood of developing the outcome of interest
exposure the condition of being subjected to a risk factor that may have a significant impact
on health
outcome the possible result(s) that may stem from exposure to risk factors; typically refers
to the presence or development of disease/health condition
morbidity the presence of illness, disease, injury, or condition that negatively affects health
mortality rate at which deaths occur in a population due to particular causes
morbidity measurement incidence and prevalence within a specific timeframe
mortality measurement rates per 1,000 or 100,000 individuals per year
case countable event relating to health condition of interest
