Abstract:
We identified the association of changes in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) with SARS-CoV-2 infection. From 6,396,500 patients, we performed a nested case-control study who participated in both biennial check-ups. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using multivariable logistic regression. From physically inactive patients at period I, the odds increased when engaged in 1-2, 3-4, or ≥5 times of MVPA/week at period II. This study found that MVPA was directly associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...
