Resting Heart Rate is an Independent Prognostic Marker for Cancer Mortality and a Modifiable Target of Physical Activity: A Prospective Cohort Study From 615,730 Asian Participants
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to investigate the independent and combined effects of resting heart rate (RHR) and physical activity (PA) on cancer mortality in a large cohort of cancer-free Taiwanese adults. They found that elevated RHR is a significant predictor of increased cancer mortality, and engaging in regular physical activity can substantially reduce this risk, particularly in individuals with higher initial RHR levels. The study suggests that RHR could serve as a practical marker for encouraging physical activity as a means of cancer prevention.
