    Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading global health issue, with obesity significantly increasing the risk of various CVD subtypes.

  • 2

    Physical activity is a crucial modifiable factor that can reduce CVD risk in individuals with overweight or obesity.

  • 3

    The study utilized accelerometer data from the UK Biobank to objectively assess physical activity patterns among overweight or obese adults.

  • 4

    Concentrated physical activity patterns may provide similar CVD risk reduction benefits as regularly distributed activity in high-risk populations.

  • 5

    The findings aim to inform public health strategies by demonstrating the efficacy of concentrated activity in reducing CVD risk.
