Article Synopsis
- A cohort study involving 8,771 healthy adults aged 40 and over analyzed the relationship between physical activity (PA) levels and the progression of coronary artery calcium (CAC) over an average follow-up of 7.8 years.
- Researchers measured PA at the beginning and during follow-up, categorizing it into three groups based on metabolic equivalent of task minutes per week (MET-min/wk).
- The study found that there was no significant effect of PA levels on the annual progression rate of CAC, with rates being 28.5% for men and 32.1% for women, regardless of PA volume.
Aims: While high-volume physical activity (PA) has been linked to elevated coronary artery calcification (CAC), the role of intensity vs. duration of PA has not been investigated. The purpose of the study was to examine the role of intensity vs.

After excluding common differentials for sudden-onset parkinsonism (eg, infection, medication change), an error on the patient's deep brain stimulator was noted. The patient's symptoms only resolved once he was transferred to the specialist centre so that the programmer could reset the device settings.

Objective: To determine if changes in erythrocyte DHA are associated with changes in LDL-C levels.
Methods: In this prospective observational study, erythrocyte DHA levels and LDL-C levels were measured in 9253 individuals who presented for at least two examinations at a medical clinic.
