Gero K, et al. - Researchers examined a Japanese population in order to assess potential associations of sport club participation during adolescence and sports-related physical activity during adulthood with mortality from cardiovascular diseases (CVD), using Cox proportional-hazard regression models. They also assessed the combined associations of sports participation during adulthood and adolescence. Findings demonstrated that men who participated in sport activities during adulthood, in addition to participating in sport clubs during adolescence, might benefit with a more pronounced risk-reduction for coronary heart disease mortality.
