Posted by Stephen Bauman on Tue Jun 9 18:26:17 2026, in response to Working out hard might be bad for your arteries. Attn: List of handles, posted by LuchAAA on Tue Jun 9 14:17:36 2026. I'm skeptical of statistical articles that are written by MD's. My skepticism dates back to the early 1970's, when I discovered a fundamental error in calculating the Framingham Risk Score for heart attacks. I wrote a published article at that time.It's the reason I conducted my own analysis of the Covid data. You may recall that I discovered the vaccine's waning efficacy in July 2021 (as a result of outbreaks in Provincetown MA and the Israeli data). That was several months before it was discovered by others. There are several reasons for not jumping to conclusions from this study. The big question should be how does this affect mortality. That question is answered in this paragraph from the article: Meaning In highly active individuals with elevated levels of coronary artery calcification, it appears that there is no evidence to suggest increased mortality risk from high levels of physical activity. The next question concerns the articles assertion as to whether increased physical activity results in increased CAC. One troubling aspect concerns the data contained in the article's Table 1. You will note the table is divided into 2 CAC categories: less than 100 AU and more than 100 AU for normal and elevated CAC. However, the first data line throws doubt on the results. You will note that the average age for those with lower CAC levels is around 50, whereas the average age for those with higher CAC levels is around 58. This raises the question as to whether the subsequent differences are due to physical activity or the age difference in the two populations. |
