- 17-20% increase in cardiovascular mortality[5]
- 22% increase in COPD mortality[5]
- 17% increase in non-cardiovascular mortality
- 12% increase in cancer mortality[5]
- 7% increase in risk for myocardial infarction
- 9% increase in risk for stroke
- every 5-kg decrease in grip strength linked to
Physiology
