>86% more likely to have higher calcium plaque levels, this doesn't imply heart disease. We can simply look at heart attack rates among white males who exercise a bit more than an hour a day are and see that they are lower than both the general population and a similar population that doesn't exercise as much
This makes sense as calcified plaque is more stable than fatty plaque, and exercise turns fatty plaque into calcified plaque. Fatty plaque doesn't show on a CAC but it's causes 95% of plaque related heart attacks.
The reason this isn't mentioned in the study is because it's a study on CAC and it's already well established that diet and exercise lower your fatty plaque, just how much is done through calcification and how much is done through removal.
