Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Maximal Oxygen Uptake and Sedentariness: an Observational Study

Completed

• Conditions: Aging

• Registration Number: NCT01931111
• Lead Sponsor: Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Brief Summary

This is a substudy of the Generation-100 study (NCT01666340). The aim of this study is to find critical values for (1) maximal oxygen uptake and (2) sedentary behavior, below which cardiovascular risk parameter clustering is apparent in an elderly Norwegian population.
