    The study assessed the relationship between physical activity intensity and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Yunnan Province, China.

  • 2

    Data from 10,447 participants aged 30–79 years were analyzed, revealing that 2.56% had prevalent CVD.

  • 3

    Vigorous physical activity (VPA) was associated with lower odds of CVD compared to low physical activity (LPA) in both crude and adjusted models.

  • 4

    The study found a significant interaction between waist circumference and physical activity intensity regarding CVD odds.

  • 5

    Findings suggest that VPA may be protective against CVD in this high-altitude population, but results should be interpreted cautiously.
