Download or read book Disease Control Priorities Third Edition Volume 5 written by Dorairaj Prabhakaran and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 948 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiovascular, respiratory, and related conditions cause more than 40 percent of all deaths globally, and their substantial burden is rising, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Their burden extends well beyond health effects to include significant economic and societal consequences. Most of these conditions are related, share risk factors, and have common control measures at the clinical, population, and policy levels. Lives can be extended and improved when these diseases are prevented, detected, and managed. This volume summarizes current knowledge and presents evidence-based interventions that are effective, cost-effective, and scalable in LMICs.

Download or read book A Study of the Relationship of Physical Activity to Cardiovascular Disease Mortality written by Martha Louise Slattery and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty years of mortality follow-up were used to study the effect of physical activity on cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in white male US Railroad workers (n = 3043). Caloric intake, leisure time activity (LTA), and working pulse rate were used as indices of physical activity. The interrelationships among these physical activity indices, other measures of physical fitness, and the CVD risk factors of obesity, serum cholesterol, blood pressure, and smoking were studied. These physical activity indices were significantly related to each other, to physical fitness variables, and to CVD risk factors. Caloric intake and LTA were significantly inversely related to CVD mortality after adjusting for age. Point estimates of risk were 1.3 and 1.4 respectively. Logistic regression analyses in the CVD free (n = 2578) showed that caloric intake was attenuated by SBP, however serum cholesterol and smoking improved the caloric intake/CVD mortality relationship. LTA remained a significant independent predictor of CVD with age, SBP, serum cholesterol, and smoking in the model. The age adjusted risk estimate of working pulse rate on CVD mortality was 1.5. It remained significantly related to CVD deaths with age, serum cholesterol, and smoking in the model, however, addition of SBP to the model resulted in working pulse rate no longer being an independent predictor of CVD mortality. In general, it may be concluded that these results support the hypothesis that physical activity protects against CVD mortality. Furthermore, physical activity appears to be directly as well as indirectly related to CVD mortality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores in depth the relation between physical activity and cancer control, including primary prevention, coping with treatments, recovery after treatments, long-term survivorship, secondary prevention, and survival. The first part of the book presents the most recent research on the impact of physical activity in preventing a range of cancers. In the second part, the association between physical activity and cancer survivorship is addressed. The effects of physical activity on supportive care endpoints (e.g., quality of life, fatigue, physical functioning) and disease endpoints (e.g., biomarkers, recurrence, survival) are carefully analyzed. In addition, the determinants of physical activity in cancer survivors are discussed, and behavior change strategies for increasing physical activity in cancer survivors are appraised. The final part of the book is devoted to special topics, including the relation of physical activity to pediatric cancer survivorship and to palliative cancer care.
Download or read book The Effect of Exercise Training on Cardiovascular Mortality Risk written by Tori M Haynes and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinicians use risk calculators in primary prevention to estimate CVD mortality. A potential limitation of available risk calculators are they generally estimate risk based on traditional risk factors, which is problematic since cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF)/physical activity are independent predictors of CVD. To address the limitations, Wickeramasinghe et al. developed a calculator to assess 30-year CVD risk that includes CRF as a variable, along with traditional risk factors, but few studies have evaluated the impact of aerobic training on this risk score. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise training on 30-year CVD risk. METHODS: The study included adults with elevated CRP levels who were randomized to an aerobic exercise group or a control group. Baseline and follow-up data (age, total cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, diabetes, body mass index, fitness level, and smoking status) were entered into the Wickeramasinghe et al. [1] calculator to calculate 30-year CVD mortality risk. The aerobic exercise intervention lasted 4 months and individuals expended approximately 16 kcal/kg per week (KKW). The control group was asked to maintain their sedentary status over the course of the intervention. RESULTS: A significant reduction in 30- year CVD risk mortality was observed between the exercise and the control group following the intervention (-0.5[CI: -1.3,0.4] versus -2.0[CI: -2.9, -1.1]. There was a significant increase in METs following the aerobic exercise intervention (p
Download or read book Aerobic Exercise for Optimizing Cardiopulmonary Fitness in Childhood Cancer Survivors Treated with a Known Cardiotoxic Agent written by Alexander Bourdon and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiotoxicity (CT) is a side effect of cancer treatment that can damage the heart and increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Furthermore, CT and reduced physical activity (PA) contribute to a sustained reduction in cardiopulmonary fitness (CPF), an independent predictor of CV mortality. Recent studies have explored the potential of aerobic exercise as a cardioprotective strategy, and many have reported CPF as an outcome. The main purpose of this review was to synthesize evidence from the existing childhood cancer survivor (CCS) studies examining the effect of aerobic exercise on CPF. The specific objectives were to investigate how certain clinical characteristics (e.g., treatment status) and exercise parameters (e.g., program length) change the effect of exercise on CPF. Pooled evidence from the nine included studies suggests that aerobic exercise has a statistically and clinically significant positive effect on CPF. Findings on the moderating effect of clinical characteristics and exercise parameters were insignificant.
