Importance: Physical activity (PA) guidelines recommend the same amount of PA through adulthood to live longer.
Objective: To explore whether there is an age-dependent association between PA and all-cause mortality and to investigate the age-dependent associations between other modifiable health factors (high educational level, not smoking, not regularly consuming alcohol, healthy body weight, and living without hypertension and diabetes) and mortality.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study used a pooled analysis of 4 population-based prospective cohorts (National Health Interview Survey, 1997-2018; UK Biobank, 2006-2010; China Kadoorie Biobank, 2004-2008; and Mei Jau, 1997-2016).

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term, symptomatic recovery of healthcare workers from acute COVID-19 infections up to 3 years after the initial COVID-19 outbreak.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed among employees of a community-based healthcare system in Massachusetts who had a recorded positive COVID-19 test. Survey responses were collected between September 2022 and January 2023.
Importance: Alcohol consumption is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality that may be more important in older adults with socioeconomic or health-related risk factors.
Objective: To examine the association of alcohol consumption patterns with 12-year mortality and its modification by health-related or socioeconomic risk factors.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This prospective cohort study used data from the UK Biobank, a population-based cohort.
