Dr. Jari Laukkanen, MD, Ph.D., is a cardiologist and researcher at the Institute of Public Health and Clinical Nutrition<\/a> at the University of Eastern Finland<\/a> in Kuopio. His early studies revealed the significance of exercise, fitness, blood pressure, and blood biomarkers in predicting outcomes of cardiovascular disorders such as coronary heart disease, sudden cardiac death, cardiac arrhythmias<\/a>, and heart failure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Laukkanen’s current research focuses on understanding the roles of cardiometabolic<\/a> risk factors in cardiovascular disease outcomes and discovering clinically significant risk factors, particularly for sudden cardiac death.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Jari Laukkanen’s team performed 20-year research that included almost 2,300 middle-aged males from Eastern Finland<\/a>. They discovered that males who used the sauna<\/a> two to three times per week were 27% less likely to die from cardiovascular causes than men who did not use the sauna. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Surprisingly, the advantages they received were dose-dependent: men who used the sauna nearly twice as frequently, four to seven times per week, received roughly double the benefits \u2013 and were 50% less likely to die from cardiovascular-related<\/a> causes. They were really 40% less likely to die from any cause of early death. These findings held true even after age, exercise levels, and lifestyle factors that may have impacted the men’s health were taken into account.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Jari Laukkanen at Facebook<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Jari Laukkanen at Twitter<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Jari Laukkanen Linkedin<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\nWorks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
