The researchers found that increasing exercise-like activities like running, cycling, and climbing stairs was associated with decreases in blood pressure. For example, the findings suggest that switching out 21 minutes of sedentary time with exercise-like activity could lower systolic blood pressure by about 2 mmHg.
The results highlight how much exercise can influence blood pressure and that daily changes can greatly influence cardiovascular health.
Researchers of the current study wanted to examine activity patterns in a 24-hour period and how they influenced blood pressure, both the systolic and diastolic readings. Researchers divided activity into six distinct categories:
All the cohorts considered some covariates, such as alcohol intake, smoking status, and age. Some cohorts gathered data on additional covariates, like mobility and education level.
