Keeping physically active as part of a healthy lifestyle matters for cardiovascular health, but new insights from the large Copenhagen General Population Study hint that while leisure-time exercise lowers the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, occupational physical activity actually has the opposite effect.
The findings, write Andreas Holtermann, PhD (National Research Centre for the Working Environment, Copenhagen, Denmark), and colleagues, support the view that the two types of physical activity actually interact independently on risk of MACE and all-cause mortality, supporting the notion of a “physical activity paradox.”
Holtermann, in an interview with TCTMD, said that he first became aware of the paradox when he started working with labor unions more than 10 years ago. There, it was clear that people in manual-labor jobs, particularly in developed nations, did not seem to derive any benefits from working long days that involved constant walking,

Scientists links risk of cardiovascular disease with eating processed meat ANI | Updated: Apr 04, 2021 20:09 IST
Ontario [Canada], April 4 (ANI): The findings of a recent global study led by scientists from Hamilton found a link between a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and eating processed meat. The same study, however, did not find the same link with unprocessed red meat or poultry.
The information comes from the diets and health outcomes of 1,34,297 people from 21 countries spanning five continents, who were tracked by researchers for data on meat consumption and cardiovascular illnesses.
After following the participants for almost a decade, the researchers found consumption of 150 grams or more of processed meat a week was associated with a 46 per cent higher risk of cardiovascular disease and a 51 per cent higher risk of death than those who ate no processed meat.

A global study led by Hamilton scientists has found a link between eating processed meat and a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. The same study did not find the same link with unprocessed red meat or poultry.
The information comes from the diets and health outcomes of 134,297 people from 21 countries spanning five continents, who were tracked by researchers for data on meat consumption and cardiovascular illnesses.
After following the participants for almost a decade, the researchers found consumption of 150 grams or more of processed meat a week was associated with a 46 per cent higher risk of cardiovascular disease and a 51 per cent higher risk of death than those who ate no processed meat.
