Public Health Implications of the Dose –Response Association Between Physical Activity and Cardiometabolic Health in Young Adults

Physical activity has numerous benefits across the lifespan, arguably none more important than its positive influence on cardiometabolic health [1]. A population with a relative paucity of conducted physical activity surveillance research is in young adults, defined here as the age group between 20 and 29  years. Young adults are a population characterized by life transitions that may either be beneficial or adversely affect health behaviors. These transitions include entering and graduating from institutions of higher education, relocation, entering the workforce, independent living, and possibly m arriage and starting a family [2].
