Women ages 62 and older had comparable associated benefits with living longer and having reduced incidents of cardiovascular events when it came to getting regular physical activity measured through timed exercise intervals, like taking a 30-minute brisk walk, or by tracking daily steps (and aiming for around 7K).

About us
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) provides global leadership for a research, training, and education program to promote the prevention and treatment of heart, lung, and blood diseases and enhance the health of all individuals so that they can live longer and more fulfilling lives. The NHLBI stimulates basic discoveries about the causes of disease, enables the translation of basic discoveries into clinical practice, fosters training and mentoring of emerging scientists and physicians, and communicates research advances to the public. It creates and supports a robust, collaborative research infrastructure in partnership with private and public organizations, including academic institutions, industry, and other government agencies. The Institute collaborates with patients, families, health care professionals, scientists, professional societies, patient advocacy groups, community organizations, and the media to promote the application of research results and leverage resources to address public health needs. The NHLBI also collaborates with international organizations to help reduce the burden of heart, lung, and blood diseases worldwide. Privacy/Comment Policy: https://bit.ly/3Bt8IQg

The Global Cardiovascular Research Funders Forum invites scientific researchers to compete in a new data challenge to better accelerate science through funding. Win up to $20K USD using the American Heart Association Precision Medicine Platform to answer the question: How can the organizations that fund cardiovascular and stroke science most effectively fund research to drive discoveries and improve lives? As a member of GCRFF, NHLBI encourages interested researchers to submit a proposal: https://bit.ly/43PFOXh

Through scientific statements in Circulation, researchers, including NHLBI scientists, outline projected increases in cardiovascular disease through 2050 and provide insight about the downstream effects of an increase in projected disease burden – with a focus on increased healthcare costs and health disparities. They also outline ways this information could support larger efforts for reversing these trends. Learn about the research and its societal and public health implications: https://bit.ly/45axNwE; https://bit.ly/3X9nWoN.
