This protocol is a retrospective study using the observational data of the the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) screening trial with over 150,000 participants aged 55-74 years to conduct a target trial emulation to examine the association between self-reported exercise and all cause and cause-specific mortality in apparently healthy, middle-aged and older adults. The PLCO includes assessments of participants' exercise level at two timepoints: at randomization into the PLCO trial (Q0) and 5-7 years after randomization into the PLCO (Q1).
