Sedentary lifestyle is much more dangerous to health than Smoking, diabetes and heart disease, according to a new study published in the JAMA Network Open.
Study author Dr. Wael Jaber (Wael Jaber), a cardiologist from the Cleveland clinic (Cleveland Clinic), believes the study results are extremely amazing.
Jaber argues that the rejection of exercise should be considered in the same risk factor as hypertension, diabetes and Smoking, and, perhaps even more than all of them put together.
If you are physically active, then it should be treated as a disease, which is a means of physical exercise, says Jaber.
The researchers retrospectively studied 122007 patients who were tested on the treadmill at Cleveland clinic from 1 January 1991 to 31 December 2014, to estimate the all-cause mortality and to identify the benefits of exercise.
Jaber said that another discovery of the study is that fitness leads to a longer life, and aerobic exercise provide unlimited health benefits. Researchers have always been concerned that engaging in physical exercise in excess may be at increased risk of death, but research has shown that it is not.
There is no level of exercise or fitness activities that increase the risk, says Jaber.
The benefits of physical exercise was observed in all age groups, both men and women, although, according to Jaber, in women it is manifested more clearly. Shocked, his comparison of the results of those who exercise with those who did.
We all know that a sedentary lifestyle or a waiver of exercise increases the risk of death. But I was surprised that in this case, the risk is even higher than the risk factors for Smoking, diabetes, and even in a number of diseases at the last stage. People who show poor results on the treadmill, and nearly twice the risk than people with kidney failure during dialysis, says Jaber.
The uniqueness of the study lies not only in the large number of participants, but that researchers not rely on the words of the patients themselves, and test results. Those who lead a sedentary lifestyle, were 500% higher risk of death compared with those who are most physically active and three times higher than in smokers. For those who little training compared to those who regularly trains, the risk was higher by 390%.
