Physically Active Lifestyle Attenuates Impairments on Lung Function and Mechanics in Hypertensive Older Adults
Abstract
:Highlights
- Systemic arterial hypertension negatively affects not only the lung function but also lung mechanics.
- A physically active lifestyle by older adults prevents the impairment of lung function and mechanics induced by systemic arterial hypertension.
- Medical doctors who diagnose their patients, especially older adults with systemic arterial hypertension, should also check for lung function and mechanics.
- Medical doctors should advise their patients with systemic arterial hypertension to keep an active lifestyle to avoid hypertension-induced loss of lung function.
