Today is hashtag#WorldPhysicalActivityDay!
Do you know that sedentary lifestyle is related to higher cardiovascular mortality risk, specially in women?⚠️
So put hashtag#PreventionInAction and move yourself! 🤸♀️
A recent study published in the scientific journal [insert name of journal], revealed concerning findings about the effects of sedentary time on cardiovascular health, especially in older women. The study, conducted with the Women’s Health Initiative Objective Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Health (OPACH) Study, examined the prospective associations between total sitting time and the average duration of sedentary periods, with cardiovascular disease mortality.
The study, which involved 5,856 women with an average age of 79, demonstrated that longer periods of sedentary lifestyle are significantly associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease mortality. The results of the study demonstrated that, women who spent more time sitting and who experienced longer periods of sedentary lifestyles, had a substantially higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease compared to those who spent less time sitting.
These findings highlight the need for interventions and initiatives aimed at reducing sedentary time and promoting physical activity. Simple steps, such as getting up and moving regularly throughout the day, can have a significant positive impact on cardiovascular health and general well-being.
