Therefore, we examined the association of the quantity and intensity of physical activity with CHD risk and the impact of other coronary risk factors. Methods and Results - We followed 12 516 middle-aged and older men (mean age 57.7 years, range 39 to 88 years) from 1977 through 1993. Physical activity was assessed at baseline in kilojoules per week (4.2 kJ= 1 kcal) from blocks walked, flights climbed, and participation in sports or recreational activities. During follow-up, 2135 cases of incident CHD, including myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, revascularization, and coronary death, occurred. Compared with men expending <2100 kJ/wk, men expending 2100 to 4199, 4200 to 8399, 8400 to 12 599, and Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI Identifiant basis : 2001214635 |
