Biochemistry of Statins
2016, Advances in Clinical ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Chomistek and colleagues showed that participating in 3 h of high-intensity physical activity is associated with a 22% lower risk of myocardial infarction among men [156]. Regular physical activities have also been shown to induce beneficial changes in blood pressure, blood lipids, inflammatory markers, and insulin sensitivity [156] as well as improving wellness, attenuating age-related decline, and reducing risk of premature death [157]. Moreover, Cotter et al. demonstrated that a higher sense of control, more social support, and more social strain are related to more physical activity [158].
Interactive effects of fitness and statin treatment on mortality risk in veterans with dyslipidaemia: A cohort study
2013, The LancetCitation Excerpt :The absence of fitness, statin treatment, or both significantly increases the risk of mortality. Muscle complaints caused by statin treatment affect 25% of statin users, but can be easily dismissed by the patient and their doctor.29 For patients who cannot be prescribed statins, achieving moderate fitness (7·1–9·0 MET) offers modest protection against premature mortality.
