What about other factors: confounding variables: extraneous variables in an experimental design that correlate with both the dependent and independent variables associated with pa and mortality diabetes, high blood pressure. The nature of pa: pa in leisure time is better, median increase of life expectancy of men and women in studies looking at both sexes . 3. 7 additional years: wasn"t a meta analysis didn"t have the right data to work with, pa during leisure time seems to increase life expectancy more e ectively than total physical activity.
