Overview

Nationwide cohort study shows higher disease incidence post-TKA, suggesting physical activity mitigates risks.

Key Points

  • Higher physical activity levels post-TKA led to decreased cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risks over five years.
  • Patients engaging in physical activity ≥5 times weekly exhibited significantly lower disease risk, indicated by HRs of 0.918 and 0.890.
  • Comparative analysis revealed higher incidences of cardiovascular (19.3%) and cerebrovascular diseases (25.7%) in TKA patients versus controls.
  • Maintaining physical activity post-TKA is crucial for optimizing long-term health outcomes, especially for those previously inactive.
