Study suggests physical activity reduces cardiovascular disease
Investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital published a study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) suggesting physical activity reduces cardiovascular disease risk by lowering stress-related brain signaling.
Researchers analyzed more than 50,000 participants and found those meeting exercise recommendations had a 23% lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Higher activity levels are also correlated with reduced stress-related brain activity. For DCs, this emphasizes the importance of promoting physical exercise for overall health, highlighting its benefits for cardiovascular, neurological and musculoskeletal well-being. Communicating these findings can help patients understand the comprehensive health benefits of regular physical activity.
