Background: Physical activity (PA) is an important component of
secondary prevention after myocardial infarction (MI). The mortality risk of MI
survivors varies at different post-MI periods, yet the time-varying effect of

volumes and patterns of total PA and mortality at different post-MI periods.
Methods: Using data from the China Patient-centered Evaluative

between their baseline interview and MI onset. Total PA was divided into
