| Abstract: | Background: Guideline for smoking cessation often mentioned physical activity as a desirable behavior but has never considered it essential. This study aims to quantity the short-term and long-term benefits of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) among smokers, including its impact on quitting behavior and on mortality outcome.Methods:This cohort, consisting of 434,189 individuals (23.2% smokers and 6.1% ex-smokers), went through standard medical surveillance program(s) from 1996 to 2008. History for smoking and physical activity was collected in the initial visit and subsequent visits. Exercise volume, expressed in MET·hour/week at each visit, classified each individual into inactive (< 3.75), low-active (3.75-7.49), or fully active (≥7.50) group. Fully active individuals met the current recommendation of 30 minute/day for 5 days or more per week. Hazard ratios (HR) were calculated with Cox model for mortality, adjusted for 10 confounders. Life expectancy was calculated using life table method. Results: One fifth of smokers (22.9%) and one third of former smokers (37.4%) were active, an under-appreciated phenomenon favoring exercisers for success in cessation. Smokers who were fully active increased quit rate by 55%-81%. Furthermore, active smokers had up to 30% less relapse rate when compared to less active individuals. Smokers who remained physically active had significant reduction in mortality for all-cause, all-cancers and cardiovascular diseases, by 23%, 14% and 34%, respectively. Moreover, they gained 3.7 years in life expectancy. Smokers who quit and stayed active reduced mortality by 43% and gained 5.6 years in life expectancy. |
