Clinical Trials Search.org is a site dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Physical Activity Effects on Health Care Utilization Clinical research trials and Physical Activity Effects on Health Care Utilization health trials happen in many of localities throughout the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically measure the effectualness of new drugs. The function of the studies / projects is to resolve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for mDs, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all varieties of circumstances, like Physical Activity Effects on Health Care Utilization. Physical Activity Effects on Health Care Utilization Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain healthcare treatment options before they are available to the masses. Some times the participants undergo professional assistance for free of charge, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Physical Activity Effects on Health Care Utilization clinical trial. Human subjects often get the best healthcare available for their Physical Activity Effects on Health Care Utilization condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include additional or frequent mD visits, healthcare dangers (potentially life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Physical Activity Effects on Health Care Utilization



Physical Activity Effects on Health Care Utilization

For Condition: Heart Diseases,Cardiovascular Diseases
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) ,
Synopsis: To determine the magnitude of the relationship between physical activity level and subsequent health care utilization over a seven to ten week period in a general population.
Details: BACKGROUND: In recent years, the benefits of a physically active lifestyle have been well established with respect to chronic health problems such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, obesity and osteoporosis. However, the extent to which physical activity influences health care utilization is less clear. If physical activity levels are inversely associated with utilization patterns, then policies encouraging exercise may produce short-term reduction in health care costs. DESIGN NARRATIVE: A multivariate regression analysis was conducted for a representative sample of more than 600 adults who participated in a longitudinal field trial of health risk appraisal instruments. Using the Harvard Alumni Activity Survey as the physical activity measure, the analysis controlled for a variety of predisposing, enabling, and need characteristics that also influenced utilization behavior.
