“…The role of physical activity as a coronary risk factor has been debated for a long time, and opinions have contrasted due to the difficulties of classifying single individuals as more or less active and to the confounding effects between habitual physical activity and some other risk factors, which, at least in some extensive surveys, could not be measured (1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,21,22,24 0355-3140/79/020100-9…”

Ten-year mortality from coronary heart disease among 172,000 men classified by occupational physical activity. by Menotti A, Puddu V Key terms: coronary heart disease; epidemiology; heart disease; man; mortality; occupational physical activity; physical activity; risk factor years and employed by the Italian railroad system on 1 April 1963 have been classified by habitual physical activity at work and followed-up for death during a ten-year period. The overall crude mortality was 56.59 per 1,000 in ten years, and no significant differences were found between men in sedentary, moderate and heavy work. Age-corrected death rates for coronary heart disease, as manifested by myocardial infarction and sudden coronary death, were substantially different in the three activity groups, moderately active workers ranking first, sedentary workers second, but very close to the former, and very active workers being last. The age-corrected rates for all ages were 14.18, 12.55 and 7.63 per 1,000 in ten years, respectively. All differences were statistically sign]ficant, the mortality ratio between the sedentary and moderate groups oombined versus the heavy group being of the order of 1.75 to 1.

Numerous reports indicate that physical inactivity is one of the coronary risk factors; however, proof that exercise has a protective effect is still elusive. Nevertheless, to continue the existing controversy on the prophylactic value of physical activity seems to be inappropriate. On the one hand, a controlled trial is not feasible; on the other hand, physical activity is a physiological function that should be promoted anyway, regardless whether irrefutable evidence of its value in the prevention of coronary heart disease is available. Activity starting in childhood and continuing throughout life is a safe approach. In more general terms, habitual physical activity should be re-introduced into the pattern of life of contemporary society.
