Why the study?
Although moderate lifestyle physical activity improves modifiable CVD risk factors, limited evidence demonstrates which activities are effective specifically in women.
Do lifestyle physical activity interventions reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors (blood pressure and cholesterol) in women?
Do lifestyle physical activity interventions reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors (blood pressure and cholesterol) in women?
Moderate lifestyle physical activity interventions are recommended to reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors such as blood pressure and cholesterol in women.
Moderate physical activity combinations merit routine recommendation for CVD risk reduction in women; extends support from systematic synthesis to prevention guidelines.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most important cause of death in older women. Although there is strong evidence in the literature that moderate lifestyle physical activity (PA) is effective in modifiable CVD risk factors, there is limited evidence demonstrating which activities are effective in women. This systematic review was conducted to evaluate the effect of lifestyle PA interventions on CVD risk factors in women. Various databases were searched for English articles from 2000 to 2019. Eight articles met the selection criteria. It is recommended to use different combinations of interventions including moderate PA, to reduce CVD risk factors in women.
