A comparative epidemiological study of the effects of regular exercise on health level.

Abstract:

STUDY OBJECT:To reveal the relationship between regular exercise and physical fitness, life style, mental health, and other cardiovascular risk factors among the Japanese. DESIGN:cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS:Three thousands, one hundred and thirty-two individuals (1,795 men and 1,336 women) over 40 years old who were examinees at one of seven centers for health promotion. METHODS:A questionnaire survey on the life style, a physical fitness tests and clinical laboratory tests were performed. RESULTS:Continuing regular exercise was associated with high levels of physical strength and their odds ratio (OR) was 2.09 (95% confidence interval(CI) 1.74-2.50). Many individuals in this group had good mental health: the OR for their sensation of fatigue (swift recovery) was 1.40(95% CI; 1.17-1.68) and that for mood recovery (fast) was 1.44(95% CI; 1.20-1.72). Thinness and obesity were scarce in this group. CONCLUSIONS:High physical fitness level, good mental health, standard body weight are more common in regular exercise group.
