Does physical activity improve clinical and biochemical risk factors in male patients with coronary artery disease across different ethnic groups?

Population

391 male patients (British Asians, Indian Asians, and white people) with angiographically proven coronary artery disease, and their respective controls.

Intervention

Physical activity

Comparator

Sedentary lifestyle

Outcome

Relation of physical activity level to serum insulin, glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoproteins, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and body mass indexsurrogate

Physical activity is associated with improved metabolic and hemodynamic profiles, including lower insulin levels, BMI, triglycerides, and blood pressure, among men with coronary artery disease across different ethnic groups.
