Inactivity Ups Heart Disease Risk for Women More Than Obesity or Smoking By Chris Weller May 9, 2014 12:30 PM EDT Medical Daily http://www.medicaldaily.com/inactivity-ups- heart-disease-risk-women-more-obesity-or-smoking-281472 . A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/lt8sztt . .Though obesity and smoking are widely touted as two of the largest risk factors for cardiovascular disease, according to a new study the two still fall below one measure as the greatest threat to women over the age of 30: physical inactivity.
.Lack of exercise is quickly becoming one of the greatest afflictions for middle-aged people, whose day jobs require less-demanding physical labor and whose nights are often filled with busy family obligations. Making the time to stay active is effortful, so many people shirk it altogether. Unfortunately, the present researchers find, our health is paying a major price.
.Researchers from the University of Queensland looked at data among 32,154 participants in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health, which has been tracking the long term health of women born in 1921-26, 1946-51, and 1973-78, since 1996.
. snip .The present study shines an important light on the overall benefits of exercise, which, in the U.S., health officials recommend people get at least 150 minutes of each week.
.Moderate forms of activity include brisk walking or light cycling, while more vigorous forms include jogging, running, or swimming. If every woman between the ages of 30 and 90 were able to stick to this weekly exercise quota, the researchers estimate that the lives of more than 2,000 middle-aged and elderly women could be saved each year in Australia alone.
