Physical inactivity: an easily modified risk factor?
The classic modifiable risk factors for the development of coronary heart disease (CHD), derived from the Framingham Heart Study and other long-term epidemiological studies, are increased blood pressure, elevated plasma cholesterol, and cigarette smoking. However, evidence has been accumulating for many years suggesting that physical inactivity or the lack of exercise is also a potent force in ...

متن کاملPhysical Inactivity and Mortality Risk
In recent years a plethora of epidemiologic evidence accumulated supports a strong, independent and inverse, association between physical activity and the fitness status of an individual and mortality in apparently healthy individuals and diseased populations. These health benefits are realized at relatively low fitness levels and increase with higher physical activity patterns or fitness statu...
متن کاملAtrial fibrillation is an independent risk factor for ventricular fibrillation: a large-scale population-based case-control study.
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with sudden cardiac death. We aimed to study whether AF is associated with ventricular fibrillation (VF), the most common cause of sudden cardiac death and whether this association is independent of confounders, ie, concomitant disease, use of antiarrhythmic or QT-prolonging drugs, and acute myocardial infarction. METHODS AND RESULTS We perfor...
متن کاملPhysical inactivity: a risk factor for low back pain in the general population?
Heavy physical work load, frequent lifting, frequent bending and twisting, and extreme sports activities are established risk factors for low back pain (LBP). Lack of physical activity, on the other hand, is also often seen as a risk factor, especially for the development of chronic low back conditions. To get insight into the potential health effect of health promotion campaigns for physical a...
