Women’s Health: Exercise

Abstract

Abstract

“Heart disease warning: Lack of exercise is worse risk for over-30s women than smoking or

obesity”. The researchers wanted to determine the proportion of heart disease that was

attributable to four specific risk factors: smoking, physical inactivity, high body mass index,

and high blood pressure. Physical activity had the greatest PAR in women aged 31 years and

older; if women aged 31 to 36 years increased their physical activity, about 51% of cases of

heart disease could be eliminated.

Keywords: Exercise, physical activity, women, cardiovascular
