Significance of changes in habits followed by risk reduction

Clinical Research in Cardiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Cardiovascular risk is substantially influenced by changes in habits. In this context the INTERHEART study showed that a healthy vitamin-packed nutrition and regular workout reduced the cardiovascular risk up to 79%. In this case people older than 50 years would benefit most from change. Patients suffering from obesity should combine a low-calory diet with physical training in order to reduce weight. Here optimal results can be achieved by considering intensity as well as quantity for each patient.

Zusammenfassung

Das kardiovaskuläre Risiko wird durch Änderungen von Lebensgewohnheiten substanziell beeinflusst. Eine Studie dazu, die INTERHEART-Studie von 2004, zeigt u. a., dass eine gesunde, vitaminreiche Ernährung sowie regelmäßiger Sport zu einer Senkung des Myokardinfarktrisikos um bis zu 79% beitragen, wovon bei einer Umstellung die über 50-Jährigen am meisten profitieren. Bei Patienten, die an Adipositas leiden, ist durch reduzierte Kalorienzufuhr in Verbindung mit körperlicher Betätigung eine kontrollierte Gewichtsreduktion durchzuführen. Hierbei ist nicht nur auf die Intensität, sondern auch auf das Maß bei jedem Patienten zu achten, um optimale Erfolge erzielen zu können.
