Exercise training is a known important prevention and treatment modality in patients with cardiovascular (CV) diseases. However, the CV risk factors in gym users have been poorly studied. The aim of this study was to monitor CV risk factors of gym users over 10 years in order to investigate whether gyms are used settings for secondary disease prevention.
In 2007 and 2017, a cross-sectional research survey was adopted to determine CV risk factors and habits in gym users (18-69 years) of the Veneto region. These data were analyzed and compared with those of PASSI, a national surveillance system of the Italian population.
During the last decade, there has been an increase in gym users over 50 years of age and in people with arterial hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. People attending the gym on medical referral are increasing, but they are still few (<10%). When comparing the collected data with PASSI surveillance, most of the CV risk factors are strongly underrepresented in gym users.
The prevalence of gym users with CV risk factors is rather low, regardless of age. Physicians still need to encourage and prescribe physical exercise for secondary prevention and treatment of chronic diseases.
运动训练是心血管疾病患者已知的重要预防和治疗方式。然而，健身者的心血管危险因素研究甚少。本研究旨在监测健身者 10 年以上的心血管危险因素，以调查健身房是否是二级疾病预防的场所。
2007 年和 2017 年，采用横断面研究调查了威尼托地区 18-69 岁健身者的心血管危险因素和习惯。分析这些数据，并与 PASSI（意大利人口的国家监测系统）的数据进行比较。
在过去十年中，50 岁以上、患有动脉高血压和高胆固醇血症的健身者人数有所增加。因医疗建议而参加健身的人数在增加，但仍然很少（<10%）。与 PASSI 监测相比，健身房使用者的大多数心血管危险因素严重不足。
无论年龄大小，有心血管危险因素的健身者比例都相当低。医生仍需鼓励并规定进行体育锻炼，以进行慢性病的二级预防和治疗。
