Leisure activity benefits those with heart disease

Last Updated: 2007-12-20 12:40:16 -0400 (Reuters Health)

By Joene Hendry

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People with cardiovascular disease who participate in vigorous leisure-time physical activity appear to significantly reduce their risk for developing disease progression or vascular events.

Dr. Beate G. Brouwer and colleagues at University Medical Center Utrecht, in the Netherlands, report that physically active patients with cardiovascular disease were less likely to develop the metabolic syndrome compared with inactive patients, even though the patients were of similar body weight.

Metabolic syndrome is defined as having three or more of the following risk factors: abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high triglycerides (a "bad" cholesterol), low high-density-lipoproteins (HDLs, the "good" cholesterol), or high blood sugar levels, which places one at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

"It is very important to be physically active, at least 30 minutes per day, even if you have had a vascular event," Brouwer told Reuters Health. "For patients with established vascular disease, physical activity is beneficial in preventing the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes," he said.

The investigators assessed leisure time physical activity levels over 10 years among 1,097 predominantly male patients who averaged 58 years of age at the start of the study. All had pre-existing coronary heart disease or vascular disease, but not type 2 diabetes.

Overall, 20 percent of the subjects participated in vigorous physical activity: an average of more than 30 minutes of brisk walking each day. Another 16 percent reported moderate levels of physical activity, and 64 percent were physically inactive.

At 10-year follow-up, 20 percent of the patients participating in leisure-time physical activities developed the metabolic syndrome compared with 36 percent of the inactive patients, the researchers report. The most active patients had a 50-percent lower risk of developing the metabolic syndrome compared with those with the least active patients.

The physically active patients also had a 60 percent lower risk of becoming insulin resistant compared with the inactive patients.

The association between physical activity and a decreased likelihood for the metabolic syndrome held in spite of data adjustments for age, gender, body mass index, and smoking.

These findings support recommendations encouraging increased physical activity and other healthy lifestyle changes among individuals with multiple cardiovascular problems, the investigators conclude.
