Coronary heart disease risk factors in middle‐aged former top‐level athletes

Abstract: A cross‐sectional study was conducted to determine the impact of previous athleticism on coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors in 168 middle‐aged men and 147 middle‐aged women in Estonia. Participants were divided into four groups: physically active ex‐athletes (AA), sedentary ex‐athletes (SA), recreational exercisers (RE), and non‐exercisers (NE). The Sharkey's questionnaire was applied to determine the CHD risk factors, health habits, medical, safety, personal, psychological and women's risk factors scor… Show more

“…However, none of the results from these three studies were adjusted for any confounding factors. Further studies conducted among athletes [57][58][59][60][61][62][63] either failed to find evidence of decreased blood pressure levels among athletes compared to nonathletes or former athletes [57,61,62] or findings reported were very inconsistent [58][59][60]63]. The lack of adjustment for confounding factors in the majority of these studies, as well as the poor assessment of true physical activity was important limitations of their study designs.…”

“…O exercício pode diminuir os níveis plasmáticos de triglicérides (WEI et al, 1997;PIHL et al, 1998;WILMORE, 2001), a lipemia pós-prandial (FOGER, PATSCH, 1995) e aumentar a atividade da lipase lipoprotéica (MARINANGELI et al, 2006). Além disso, pode aumentar as concentrações plasmáticas HDL-C de 6% a 21% (WILMORE, 2001;PARK, RANSONE, 2003;BRITES et al, 2004;OLCHAWA et al, 2004) e este aumento é frequentemente acompanhado por uma redução de triglicérides de VLDL (FOGER et al, 1994;GRANDJEAN et al, 2000).…”

“…Os resultados que avaliam o efeito do exercício nas dosagens rotineiras de colesterol total e de LDL-C são controversos e mostram que as mesmas nem sempre são modificadas pelo treinamento físico (SUPERKO, 1995;CROUSE, et al, 1997;PIHL et al, 1998, VINAGRE et al, 2002PARK et al, 2003). Contudo, alguns estudos mostraram diminuição na concentração de LDL-C (KAVANAGH, 2001;DUNCAN et al, 2003;VERNEY et al, 2006;HALVERSTADT et al, 2007;HELGE et al, 2007).…”
