Physical activity and cardiovascular risk in obese older Korean women: effects on obesity, hypertension, and arterial stiffness

These findings demonstrate that regular PA is associated with improved body composition and reductions in both BP and AS in obese older women. The results underscore the importance of promoting PA as a preventive strategy against CVD in the aging population. Further research is warranted to explore the effects of various intensities and types of PA on vascular health and metabolic function.
