Sedentary behavior, irregular physical activity, and high perceived stress are strongly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease among nursing and medical students.
Alves et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular health (n=413). Sedentary lifestyle vs. Non-sedentary lifestyle was evaluated on Risk for developing cardiovascular diseases (OR 38.6, p=<0.001). A sedentary lifestyle was associated with a significantly higher risk for developing cardiovascular diseases among nursing and medical students (OR 38.6, p<0.001).
