According to a new study, reported by CNN, exercising may prolong life by at least five years.
Dr Lennert Wehrman, Professor of Public Health at Griffith University School of Medicine and Dentistry, said: Australia“I was surprised to find that years of life lost in the United States due to low levels of physical activity may rival the losses due to smoking and high blood pressure.”
Furman inspired his research from a 2019 study that found that… Risk of death The early onset decreased as the participants increased physical activity.
The authors of the latest study used physical activity data from participants who were 40 years old.
The results are based on this age group because rates Deaths Activity dependent is stable until age 40; And then it changes.
The reason for using participants’ older activity data was methodological consistency with the 2019 study, the authors said.
The team then created a life table, a way to show the odds of a population living to a certain age or dying by it.
Experts found that if those who were less active got an additional 111 minutes of activity per day, they could extend their lives by up to 11 years.
“We need to figure out how to do it here in,” Fairman said US“Because our healthcare expenditures are completely unsustainable.”
He added that reducing dependence on Cars It takes teamwork and long-term planning, but everyone can advocate for this change, and some people are already in a position to help make it happen.
