A new study from the Smidt Heart Institute suggests that men need to spend twice as long exercising as women to achieve the same long-term health benefits, with women being able to "get more out of each minute" of exercise. Regardless of the type of activity, women experienced greater long-term health benefits, including a reduced risk of heart attacks and strokes, even when doing less than men.
A study from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai reveals that women can achieve greater cardiovascular benefits from exercise than men with less effort, showing that women can exercise less often yet receive more gains. The research, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, analyzed data from over 400,000 U.S. adults and found that women reached the same degree of survival benefit from exercising about half the time as men. The study's findings highlight the importance of tailored exercise recommendations based on gender-specific physiology and may motivate more women to engage in regular physical activity for long-term health benefits.
A study conducted by the Smidt Heart Institute found that 50% of individuals experienced sex-specific warning signs before suffering from cardiac arrest. The study, called the Prediction of Sudden Death in Multi-Ethnic Communities (PRESTO), aimed to gain a better understanding of sudden cardiac arrest. First responders from the Ventura County EMS Agency provided community-based data for the study.
