Higher heart valve risk linked to smaller activity gains
In 9,051 adults followed for about 25 years, questionnaire-reported activity increased most in the lowest-risk group and least in the highest-risk group.In 9,051 adults followed for about 25 years, questionnaire-reported activity increased most in the lowest-risk group and least in the highest-risk group.
Cohort · 9,051 peoplePopulations
Who was studied9,051 adults in the ARIC cohort, about 25 years
What changedPhysical activity increased less over time in adults with higher estimated risk of heart valve narrowing
The catchOlder age and poorer cardiometabolic health could explain smaller activity gains at higher risk
