Q: In a study of women and heart disease, the following sample results were obtained: Among 10,239 women with a low level of physical activity (less than 200 kcal/wk), there were 101 cases of heart disease. Among 9877 women with physical activity measured between 200 and 600 kcal/wk, there were 56 cases of heart disease (based on data from "Physical Activity and Coronary Heart Dis¬ease in Women" by Lee, Rexrode, et al., Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 285, No. 11).
