Physical Activity and Gallstone Disease by I. N. Grigor’eva, T. E. Notova, T. I. Romanova

“…Many systematic reviews and meta-analyses have confirmed an inverse association between GSD and PA in the world, regardless of potential risk factors for GSD, with a clear dose-dependent effect — the relative risk (RR) of GSD was 0.87 (95 % CI 0.83–0.92) per 20 metabolic equivalents (MET) of PA per week. According to our results of an epidemiological survey in the framework of the WHO MONICA program in Novosibirsk (n = 870) among women aged 25–64 with low total PA (less than 800 MET/min/week), as well as with the first class of PA in leisure-time, GSD occurred much more often (class 1 — 33 %, classes 2–4 — 8.7–11.0 %, p < 0.01). …”
