Walking at the pace of sugar may reduce the risk of a wide range of heart rhythm problems, according to a study.
The research reviewed by the peers, published in BMJ HeartData analysis of 420,925 participants in the UK’s biological bank who provided data on walking speed. Among them, he gave 81,956 more detailed data about how much time they spend walking in different steps.
According to the study, a slow pace was defined as less than 3 miles per hour. Fixed pace/average 3-4 miles per hour; Fast speed is more than 4 miles per hour. Low than 6.5 % of the participants were slow walking, and 53 % was average walking pace and 41 % had a brisk walking pace.
Tracking these 13 -year -old individuals on average showed that 36,574 participants (9 %) have developed a form of heart rhythm.
After calculating the factors of demographic background and lifestyle, medium or fast walking pace, respectively, is associated with 35 % and 43 % of the heart rhythm deformities, all compared to the slow walking pace.
These upper walking speeds were also associated with less risks than atrial fibrillation and other irregular heartbeat.
While the amount of time spent at a slow pace was not associated with the risk of heart rhythm deformities, the time that he spends walking at an average or rapid pace is related to 27 % less risks.
In general, about 36 % of the relationship between walking and all heart rhythm deformities affected by metabolic factors and infections.
The study included the demographic factors and lifestyle represented by the study that the participants who reported the frequency of walking faster were more vulnerable to men and tend to live in less deprived areas and healthy lifestyles.
Atrial fibrillation is a condition in which the upper rooms in the heart overcomes irregularly and very fast, while ventricular heartbeat occurs when the abnormal heart rhythm begins in the lower rooms.
Rhythm problems can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure and heart attack if left without treatment. It can occur when there is a problem with the electrical system that makes the heart pulse.
The researchers pointed out that the study was noticeable, which means that fixed conclusions cannot be extracted on whether walking at a rapid pace was a direct cause of a decrease in the rhythm of the heart.
The study was also limited to the fact that the participants were reported and did not reflect a wide range of ages and ethnic backgrounds. The average age was 55, 55 % of women and 97 % were eggs.
“This study is the first to explore the paths on which the relationship between the pace of walking and irregular heartbeat is based, and providing evidence that metabolic and inflammatory factors may have a role: walking faster than the risk of obesity and inflammation, which, in turn, has reduced the risk of additions.
“This result is biologically reasonable because the cumulative epidemiological studies showed that the pace of walking is inversely related to metabolic factors, such as obesity, HBA1C [fasting glucose]Diabetes and [high blood pressure] Which, in turn, is related to the risk of arrhythmia. “
