Men's cardiovascular disease risk begins rising in their mid-30s, reaching a 5% risk about seven years earlier than women, driven mainly by earlier coronary disease.

Short, frequent bouts of physical activity substantially lower all-cause mortality and reduce coronary heart disease risk; wearable data also reveal harms of prolonged sedentary time.

Men require roughly twice the weekly exercise of women to achieve the same reduction in coronary heart disease risk.
