Published in Atherosclerosis, this study reveals that ascending more than five flights of stairs daily could reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by a striking 20%.
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), coronary artery disease, and stroke stand as the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally.
