Women gain stronger heart protection from exercise than men, study reveals

Researchers analyzing over 85,000 UK Biobank participants found that women gain greater cardiovascular benefits from physical activity than men, needing only half the exercise to achieve similar reductions in coronary heart disease and mortality risk. The study underscores the importance of sex-specific guidelines for CHD prevention.
