Epidemiology and risk factors for venous thrombosis. (2007, background): “In the Longitudinal Investigation of Thromboembolism Etiology study of 21,690 men and women aged 45–100 at baseline, there was no association of baseline leisure time physical activity level with risk of future venous thrombosis (7).”
Obesity and cardiovascular disease: risk factor, paradox, and impact of weight loss. (2009, background): “Additionally, obesity is associated with an increased risk for venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism, especially in women ( 64 ,65).”
Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Venous Thromboembolism: A Meta-Analysis (2008, methodology): “Statistical heterogeneity was evaluated with the 2 and the I2 statistics, which assess the appropriateness of pooling the individual study results.23 The I2 value provides an estimate of the amount of variance across studies resulting from heterogeneity rather than chance.”
