Does gender modify the detrimental coronary effects of metabolic syndrome?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Little is known if the levels of physical activity required for the prevention of incident heart failure (HF) and other cardiovascular events vary in community-dwelling older adults. METHODS:We studied 5503 Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) participants, age ≥ 65 years, free of baseline HF. Weekly metabolic...
