“…(6,8,12) A recent Chinese study showed compromised cardiovascular health in women after increased clustering of two or more risk factors during the climacteric period. (23) Among the seven risk factors considered, physical inactivity was the most prevalent. Similar results were observed in studies with a prevalence of 73.0% (11) and 84.0%, (22) identified among women who did not meet the target of at least 30 minutes of physical activity five times a week.…”
