Reallocation time of accelerometer-measured movement behaviours, genetic susceptibility, and incident chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Key Points

• Investigate the relationship between movement behaviours and the risk of developing COPD, considering genetic susceptibility.
• Measured movement behaviours using accelerometers.
• Analyzed the impact of substituting moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) for other behaviours.
• Assessed genetic susceptibility in relation to COPD incidence.
• Increased MVPA was linked to a lower risk of developing COPD.
• The protective effect of MVPA was observed regardless of genetic predisposition.
