Past physical activity, current physical activity, and risk of coronary heart disease

Article Abstract:

The relationship between physical activity during young adulthood and middle age and physical activity during each time period and coronary heart disease (CHD) occurring in middle age or older women were examined. It was revealed that women who were physically active during young adulthood are more likely to be active when middle-aged and older, when rates of CHD increase, and physical activity during middle-aged predicts lower risk of CHD.
