Back and chest muscle health linked to heart attack risk

A recent study has shown that improving the quality of back and chest muscles reduces the risk of heart attacks and mortality, regardless of muscle mass size, by increasing muscle density and decreasing fat accumulation within the muscles. After a 10-year follow-up, it was found that every 10-point increase in trunk muscle density is associated with a 31% decrease in the risk of heart attacks, along with a reduced likelihood of death. Experts recommend regular resistance and aerobic exercises to enhance muscle quality, with an emphasis on reducing fat between the fibers, as better muscle quality is linked to lower inflammation and improved insulin resistance, thereby indirectly promoting heart health.
