🚲🚶‍♀️ Active commuting may do more than boost fitness. It is linked to less atherosclerosis. Proud to share our new SCAPIS study. 🔗bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2… #SCAPIS #CardioTwitter #Prevention

In our SCAPIS study, active commuting was associated with 13% lower odds of coronary stenosis (OR 0.87; 95% CI 0.80–0.94) and 7% lower odds of coronary artery calcification (OR 0.93; 95% CI 0.86–1.00) vs car commuting.

🚲 vs 🚶‍♀️ The association with coronary stenosis appeared somewhat stronger for cycling (OR 0.86; 95% CI 0.78–0.95) than for walking (OR 0.89; 95% CI 0.79–1.01).
