Question

minutes per week of moderate/vigorous physical activity: 30, 90, 180, 330, 420
relative risk of premature death: 1,.8,.73,.64,.615
according to the data, how does a person’s relative risk of premature death change in correlation to changes in physical activity?

• the risk of dying prematurely increases as people become more physically active.
• the risk of dying prematurely does not change in correlation to changes in physical activity.
• the risk of dying prematurely declines as people become more physically active.
• the risk of dying prematurely declines as people become less physically active

Explanation:

We analyze the data: as minutes of moderate/vigorous physical activity per week increase (from 30 to 420), the relative risk of premature death decreases (from 1 to 0.615). So the risk of dying prematurely declines as people become more physically active. The option stating "The risk of dying prematurely declines as people become more physically active" matches this trend.

Answer:

The option: "The risk of dying prematurely declines as people become more physically active" (the third option in the list of choices, based on the provided text layout).
