Why the study?
Does frequent physical activity reduce vascular disease risk more than moderate activity in women?
Does frequent physical activity reduce vascular disease risk more than moderate activity in women?
While moderate physical activity lowers vascular disease risk compared to inactivity, increasing the frequency of activity may not provide additional progressive risk reduction in women.
Moderate activity may suffice to lower vascular risk in women; leaves open optimal frequency for prevention.
Moderate physical activity is associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease, venous thromboembolic event, and cerebrovascular disease than inactivity. However, among active women, there is little to suggest progressive reductions in risk of vascular diseases with increasing frequency of activity.
