Abstract

Background: Active commuting is inversely related with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors yet associations with CVD prevalence in the US population are unknown. Methods: Aggregate data from national surveys conducted in 2017 provided state-level percentages of adults who have/had coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, and stroke, and who actively commuted to work. Associations between active commuting and CVD prevalence rates were assessed using Pearson correlations and generalized additive models controlling for covariates. Results: Significant correlations were observed between active commuting and all CVD rates (r range = −.31 to −.47; P <.05). The generalized additive model analyses for active commuting (walking, cycling, or public transport) in all adults found no relationships with CVD rates; however, a significant curvilinear association was observed for stroke within men. The generalized additive model curves when examining commuting via walking or cycling in all adults demonstrated nuanced, generally negative linear or curvilinear associations between coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Conclusion: Significant negative correlations were observed between active commuting and prevalence rates of coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Controlling for covariates influenced these associations and highlights the need for future research to explore the potential of active commuting modes to reduce CVD in the United States.

MetS was defined according to the National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III criteria, as updated by the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (AHA/NHLBI). Pearson correlations, chi-squares, and dependent 2-tail t-tests were used to assess the relationship between the change in CRF and the change in MetS risk factors, overall number of MetS risk factors, and a MetS severity score following 4– 6 months of participation in a self-referred, community-based exercise program.Results: Overall prevalence of MetS decreased from 23% to 14% following the exercise program (P < 0.05), while CRF improved 15% (4.7 ± 8.4 mL/kg/min, P < 0.05). Following exercise training, the number of positive risk factors declined from 1.4 ± 1.3 to 1.2 ± 1.2 in the overall cohort (P < 0.05). The change in CRF was inversely related to the change in the overall number of MetS risk factors (r = − 0.22; P < 0.05) and the MetS severity score (r = − 0.28; p < 0.05).Conclusion: This ob

18. Oxygen Uptake Efficiency Slope as a Predictor of Mortality Risk

Author

Peterman, James E., Novelli, Dominic S., Fleenor, Bradley S., Whaley, Mitchell H., Kaminsky, Leonard A., and Harber, Matthew P.

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between measures of oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) and all-cause mortality in a cohort of apparently healthy adults. The OUES is related to all-cause mortality in apparently healthy males but not in females. These findings suggest that a determination of OUES has prognostic utility in males.
