Study: Sport reduces the risk of men with atrophic side cllerosis
The search for a treatment for atrophic lateral sclerosis has always been, but researchers may have identified a way to reduce the risk of infection in men in the long run. In a scientific study published in the journal “Neurology”, it is said that men retain their physical fitness and obtain moderate levels of exercise, the chances of developing atrophic side cllerosis can reduce later in life. The study has a direct relationship between physical activity and the risk of infection with atrophic lateral sclerosis in men, not women. The atrophic silkserosis is a rare and advanced neuropathic disease, affecting the neurons in the brain and spinal cord. People with atrophic lateral sclerosis lose the ability to start and control muscle, which often leads to complete paralysis and death with an average age after diagnosis from two to 5 years. The study included 373,696 people in Norway, with an average age of 41 years, during a 27 -year follow -up period. Among the total participants, 504 people were injured by atrophic side cllerosis, and among them were 59% of the male participants. The researchers found that among the 41.898 male participants who practiced the highest level of physical activity (more than 4 hours a week of strong exercise), 63 of them suffered from atrophic side cllerosis. They also found that among the 76 thousand and 769 participants of men with an average level of physical activity (4 hours of moderate exercise), of which 131 were wounded with atrophic side sclerosis, while among the 29,468 participants of men with the lowest level of physical activity suffered, 68 of them suffered from atrophic side clerosis. Atrophic side beerosis .. infection factors and to calculate other factors for atrophic lateral sclerosis, such as smoking and body mass index, the researchers found that the most active group is 41% lower risk than the less active group, while those who have moderate activity levels are 29% less risk. The researchers noted that men at the lowest four categories of the heart rate are at rest, which are a good fitness standard, have a 32% lower risk of infection with atrophic lateral sclerosis, compared to men with higher rates. The results of the researchers also show that for men, physical activity and fitness at moderate to high levels, not only increases the risk of atrophic lateral sclerosis, but can also be preventative against the disease. Future studies are needed on the relationship between atrophic side cllerosis and exercise, to consider gender differences and higher or professional physical activity levels for athletes.
