Lowering Risk of Cancer, Respiratory Disease, Diabetes? Exercise 150 Minutes Per Week

#diabetes #cancer #exercise

A new questionnaire based study has suggested that individuals who reported the highest level of physical activity — meaning those who exercised moderately to vigorously at least 150 minutes per week — were at statistically significant lower risk of having 19 chronic conditions, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, respiratory disease, and diabetes. The findings are published in preventing chronic disease journal.
The findings further suggest patients who are least active — meaning they reported little to no exercise in a given week — are at increased risk to develop a chronic disease.
The Exercise Vital Sign survey, as the questionnaire is called, asked patients two questions that they answered on a tablet:
• “On average, how many days per week do you engage in moderate to vigorous exercise (like a brisk walk)?” (0-7 days)
• “On average, how many minutes do you engage in exercise at this level?”
