Preventing Coronary Heart Disease: The Role of Physical Activity

Lee, I-Min, Paffenbarger, Ralph S., Thompson, Paul D.·2001·The Physician and Sportsmedicine

Abstract

Over the past 50 years or so, many epidemiologic studies have examined the association between physical activity or physical fitness and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. Their findings have been consistent, showing that physically active or fit men and women experience lower CHD risk than those who are sedentary or unfit. On average, active patients have half the risk of sedentary patients. Data regarding the optimal amount, intensity, and duration of physical activity required to decrease CHD risk have been less clear. It appears that following recent recommendations (at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity such as brisk walking on most days) is sufficient.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
