In a recent article posted to the Public Library of Science (PLOS) ONE journal, investigators analyzed the significance of the physical activity paradox in the risk variables for cardiovascular ...

This study confirms that physically active women have risk factor profiles that are associated with lower cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, it shows that over time, middle-aged ...

The aim of the study was to assess the associations of individual and combined physical fitness components with single and clustering of cardio-metabolic risk factors in children. This 2-year ...

Physical activity was significantly associated with cardiorespiratory fitness and pulse wave velocity, a preclinical indicator of future cardiovascular disease risk, in patients with psoriasis.

A high level of cardiovascular physical fitness in middle-aged women is associated with close to a 90% reduction in dementia risk in later life, results of a longitudinal study show. Investigators ...

Physical activity may paradoxically hasten the build-up of calcium deposits in the coronary arteries, the amount of which—measured as the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score—is traditionally used to ...

Having lower physical function was associated with a higher risk of heart attack, stroke and heart failure among older adults assessed with a short physical function test. These associations between ...

Tailored for those aged 30 and above, a new tool uses sex-specific, race-free equations to estimate the 10- and 30-year risk of total cardiovascular disease. Novel Prediction Equations for Absolute ...

The ageing phenomena requires the development in the near future of new systems and services that will provide healthcare quality with costs optimization. In this context the lecture will present a ...
