While the relationship between physical activity and coronary heart disease is well characterized, a paucity of data exists regarding physical activity and vascular disease in other arterial territories. This study examined the prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and carotid artery stenosis (CAS) in association with physical activity. The association between physical activity and vascular disease was examined in more than 3 million self-referred US participants in the United States from 2003–2008 who completed a medical and lifestyle questionnaire in the Life Line screening program. All subjects were evaluated by screening ankle brachial indices <0.90 for PAD and ultrasound imaging for CAS >50%. Multivariable logistic regression modeling was used to estimate odds of disease. Among 3,250,350 subjects, 63% of the population engaged in some leisure time vigorous physical activity. After adjustment for age, sex, race/ethnicity, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, smoking status, diabetes, body mass index and family history of cardiovascular disease, subjects who reported any physical activity had a significantly lower odds of PAD (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.63 – 0.65) and CAS (OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.79 – 0.81). The association between physical activity with PAD and CAS was robust when stratified by sex, race and age categories. Physical activity intensity frequency was associated with lower PAD and CAS in a graded manner (p trend <0.0001 for both). Findings appeared unaffected by confounding by comorbidity or indication. In a large population based study, higher levels of physical activity were independently associated with lower odds of vascular disease in the lower extremities and carotid arteries.
