Implication

May support lifestyle counseling to lower MI risk; extends global observational data but leaves open causality and practice change.

Structured PICO

Does physical activity and ownership of goods promoting sedentary behaviour affect the risk of first myocardial infarction?

P
Population
24,260 subjects (10,043 cases of first MI and 14,217 controls without previous angina or physical disability) from different socio-economic populations
I
Intervention
Occupational and leisure-time physical activity; ownership of goods promoting sedentary behaviour (car and TV)
C
Comparator
Sedentary subjects; subjects who owned neither a car nor a TV
O
Outcome
Risk of first myocardial infarction (MI)hard clinical

Leisure-time and mild-to-moderate occupational physical activity are associated with a reduced risk of MI, while ownership of a car and TV is associated with an increased risk across all economic regions.
