Researchers found that older women who spend more time doing daily life activities can reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease.
A recent study found physically active younger adults could see big savings in Medicare costs as senior citizens.A new study shows performing routine activities such as housework, gardening and cooking can significantly improve cardiovascular health for older women. Health officials said heart disease is the leading cause of death in U.S. women.
The study ncluded researchers measuring the physical activity of more than 5,400 American women between 63 and 97 years old and who did not have heart disease at the start of the study. Participants wore a research-grade accelerometer for up to seven days in 2014 to see how much time they spent moving, including daily life behaviors.
"The study demonstrates that all movement counts towards disease prevention," the study’s author Steve Nguyen. "Spending more time in daily life movement, which includes a wide range of activities we all do while on our feet and out of our chairs, resulted in a lower risk of cardiovascular disease." Men were not included in the study. Researchers said the study was a apart of the Women’s Health Initiative that started in the 1990s.
