18 Μαρτίου 2019, Even Later-Life Exercise Reduces Mortality - Medscape

Regular exercise reduces the risk of death even when started in middle age, according to a study that uses a life-course analysis to measure the link between mortality and leisure time physical activity (LTPA). The results also show an association between LTPA and cause-specific mortality for the two leading causes of death, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer.
Pedro F. Saint-Maurice, PhD, from the National Cancer Institute, Rockville, Maryland, and colleagues report today in JAMA Network Open that 2 to 7 hours/week of LTPA was associated with 29%-36% decreased risk for all-cause mortality, 32%-43% risk for CVD-related mortality, and 14%-16% decreased risk for cancer mortality compared to subjects with 1 hour/week or less of LTPA.
