Characterizing hypertension among recreational cyclists in Colombia: The Atlántico cyclists study
Hypertension was a common baseline condition among recreational cyclists, but none was found to have EIH. Despite a high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors, one-fifth of the participants had a medical evaluation before engaging in cycling activities. Our findings underscore the importance of encouraging routine health screenings in this population.
