Why the study?
Does physical activity and walking pace reduce subclinical atherosclerosis in adults without prior clinical cardiovascular disease?
Does physical activity and walking pace reduce subclinical atherosclerosis in adults without prior clinical cardiovascular disease?
Faster walking pace is associated with less subclinical atherosclerosis in adults without prior cardiovascular disease, though this relationship appears to be mediated by traditional cardiovascular risk factors.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Does not support changing practice; leaves open whether walking pace independently influences subclinical atherosclerosis beyond risk factor mediation.
Bertoni et al. (2008) studied this question.
