Exercising for more than 150 minutes a week reduced the risk by 52 percent.

Xiaochen Zhang, lead author of the study, commented: “This shows that increasing physical activity even a small amount, as little as 10 minutes at a time, is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease — for example, a 30-minute walk has the same benefits as completing three 10-minute walks.”

The NHS advises adults do at least 150 minutes of moderate activity a week, such as cycling or brisk walking.

It adds: “If you find it difficult to do this, start at a level you feel comfortable with and gradually increase the duration and intensity of your activity as your fitness improves.
