Greater physical activity has been quite comprehensively demonstrated to correlate with reduced mortality in later life. The epidemiological study noted here shows that this relationship also holds up in people who have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, due to factors such as type 2 diabetes or hypertension. The researchers examined outcomes in patients who improved their level of physical activity between two time points, finding a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease in comparison to those who did not improve. This is consistent with…
Increased Physical Activity in High Risk Groups Reduces Incidence of Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality
