Abstract

Background: The long term implications of elite infantry service on cardiovascular health and cortical bone width at middle age has not been studied. The purpose of this study was to compare the cardiovascular health and cortical bone thickness of former elite infantry soldiers at middle life with a sedentary population of religious scholars using seven factors associated with cardiovascular risk and QCT tibial cross sections 8 cm above the ankle joint.

Results: Torah scholars had a higher 5 year risk for a fatal or non fatal cardiovascular event (p = 0.008) than former elite infantry soldiers. The former elite infantry soldiers had wider tibia cortices than Torah scholar (p = 0.003).

Conclusions: This study shows that former elite infantry soldiers who performed strenuous physical activity during their military service and continued physical activity in their subsequent life, had stronger tibias based on increased cortical width and a modest decrease in cardiovascular risk at middle life compared to sedentary Torah scholars.

前精锐步兵中年心血管和骨骼健康

背景:精锐步兵服役对中年心血管健康和皮质骨宽度的长期影响尚未得到研究。本研究的目的是利用与心血管风险相关的7个因素和踝关节以上8 cm的QCT胫骨横截面，比较前精锐步兵中年与久坐的宗教学者人群的心血管健康和皮质骨厚度。结果:Torah学者在5年内发生致命性或非致命性心血管事件的风险高于前精锐步兵(p = 0.008)。前精锐步兵的胫骨皮质比托拉学者更宽(p = 0.003)。结论:这项研究表明，与久坐不动的律法学者相比，在服兵役期间进行剧烈体育锻炼并在随后的生活中继续体育锻炼的前精锐步兵，在皮层宽度增加的基础上有更强的胫骨，在中年时心血管风险适度降低。
