    If you want to find a reason and think more about it, you can always find it.
    For example, if you want to sleep more in singular cakes, you can quote "sleeping in the summer when you are sleepy in the spring and autumn.
    " If you want to eat meat, you can say "work hard to climb to the top of the food chain.
    In summer, the temperature is so high, there are reasons to be unwilling to go out to exercise, but after thinking about the benefits of exercise, the singularity cake can find motivation again.
    If you exercise more now, you will have less risk in the future
    .

    And even in their 50s and 60s, sports can still help everyone fight against various life-threatening diseases, such as stroke, the number one enemy of Chinese health
    .

    A recent study published in the European Heart Journal showed that in accordance with various authoritative guidelines, middle-aged and elderly people should exercise more than 150 minutes of moderate-to-high intensity exercise per week, which would reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation by 18% and the occurrence of stroke.
    The relative risk is reduced by 24%
    .

    Atrial fibrillation is an important cause of stroke, so the benefits of exercise can also be said to kill two birds with one stone
    .

    And this study also pointed out one point: the self-reported amount of exercise by middle-aged and elderly people is not necessarily reliable.
    Only when the exercise sensor is worn is the real standard.
    So, elders, don’t be lazy.
    June 6 is the ninth.
    "Chinese Atrial Fibrillation Day", and the current prevalence of atrial fibrillation is indeed very high.
    All kinds of media are making every effort to popularize the importance of science prevention.
    Exercise is one of the prevention methods mentioned
    .

    However, from the previous data, the evidence of exercise to prevent atrial fibrillation is not sufficient, and there are even studies that say that athletes are at higher risk [2]
    .

    One of the main reasons for the insufficient evidence is that the amount of exercise in previous cohort studies was basically collected by questionnaires.
    Compared with the actual situation, it is generally overestimated.
    I don't know if the participants are all vanity
    .

    So when the Harvard University and MIT teams did this analysis, they thought of the treasure data source—UK Biobank.
    Among the more than 500,000 participants in the UK Biobank, 103,000 had worn it.
    After a week with the wrist motion sensor, the amount of exercise recorded in this way is obviously much more reliable
    .

    After excluding a group of participants who were not wearing time enough or originally suffering from atrial fibrillation, 93,000 people were included in this analysis.
    From the perspective of population characteristics, the median age of the participants was 62 years old, which happened to be Age group with a high incidence of atrial fibrillation, stroke and various cardiovascular diseases
    .

    When you reach the appropriate age, you have to take "heart protection" in mind (picture source: Pixabay) According to sensor data, 46.
    8% of participants exercise ≥150 minutes of high-intensity exercise per week, which can meet the recommended standards of various authoritative guides , But if you look at the questionnaire, the proportion will be higher, especially the participants who said they exercise ≥300 minutes per week are relatively 70% (18.
    7%/31.
    9%)
    .

    And even if you start exercising at this age, it’s not too late for middle-aged and elderly people: During the 5.
    2-year follow-up period, 2338 participants were diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, and the amount of exercise indicated by the sensor reached the standard, and the participants were at risk of diagnosis.
    The relative decrease of 18% (HR=0.
    82, 95% CI: 0.
    75-0.
    89) is related
    .

    Participants' self-reported exercise volume is significantly less correlated with the risk of atrial fibrillation diagnosis
    .

    Sensor data also shows that it is best not to arrange exercise for three days and two days of fishing, but to evenly distribute it to each day.
    Each additional day of exercise ≥ 25 minutes per week is related to a relative decrease in the risk of diagnosis by 5%
    .

    Taking some time every day to exercise is the best form.
    The risk of stroke is similar.
    The sensor data indicates that the amount of exercise is up to the standard, which is related to the relative reduction of the participant’s risk of diagnosis by 24% (HR=0.
    76), and the amount of exercise ≥25 minutes per extra day , It is related to a 10% relative decrease in the risk of diagnosis, and the self-reported amount of exercise is still not relevant
    .

    So it seems that sooner or later, doctors have to use various apps and wearable devices to urge people at high risk of cardiovascular disease to exercise more according to the guidelines.
    Self-reported amounts are prone to "inflation", but American researchers are concerned about this aspect.
    The outlook is quite optimistic
    .

    After all, compared with taking medicine every day, wearing a device that monitors the amount of exercise should be easier to accept no matter how you look, and the singularity cake feels that the enthusiasm of many aunts and aunts may be higher than that of readers who go to work every day.
