Does increased frequency of sauna bathing reduce the risk of SCD, CHD, CVD, and all-cause mortality?
Does increased frequency of sauna bathing reduce the risk of SCD, CHD, CVD, and all-cause mortality?
Increased frequency of sauna bathing is associated with reduced cardiovascular and all-cause mortality.
May support sauna bathing as a modifiable factor; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice without RCTs.
Increased frequency of sauna bathing is associated with a reduced risk of SCD, CHD, CVD, and all-cause mortality. Further studies are warranted to establish the potential mechanism that links sauna bathing and cardiovascular health.
