Inappropriate physical activity (low physical activity) is associated with a higher prevalence of dyslipidemia, with an odds ratio of 1.2 compared to those with appropriate physical activity.
Increasing your physical activity levels can help improve your lipid profile. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week, as recommended by general health guidelines, to reduce your risk of dyslipidemia.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
The prevalence of dyslipidemia was higher in... those with inappropriate physical activity (OR = 1.2)... Inappropriate physical activity was reported in 51.3% of the Iranian adult population.
Why this rating
Large population-based cross-sectional survey with adjusted ORs.
