Does physical activity reduce 10-year CVD risk in overweight and obese U.S. adults?
Any level of physical activity is associated with reduced 10-year cardiovascular disease risk in overweight and obese adults.
Participation in any level of physical activity is associated with a lower 10-year CVD risk for overweight and obese adults. Future studies are needed to identify effective modes and doses of exercise that offer optimal CVD benefits for populations with different weight statuses.
Zhang et al. (2020) studied this question.
