“Strength Training Must Become a National Priority Hip fractures kill 20–60% of older adults within a year—yet resistance training can lower fracture risk by 30—0%. Two hours of resistance training per week significantly reduces mortality risk, improves brain function, and increases bone density.”

“This includes short bursts of vigorous movement during daily life, such as quickly climbing stairs. In a wearable study of more than 25,000 adults who reported no leisure-time exercise, several brief daily VILPA bouts were associated with lower all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality.”

“Sleep duration has been shown to decrease with age and this may affect the relationship of sleep duration with mortality. No significant associations between sleep duration and early death were observed in those aged 65 years or older.”

“In more than 25,000 adults who reported no structured exercise, wearable-measured bouts lasting one or two minutes were associated with lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. The observational cohort cannot prove that these brief bouts caused longer life.”

“A new study finds there are no upper limits to the benefits of exercise. Any level of cardiovascular fitness, including the kind you’d see from elite athletes, is linked to lower all-cause mortality and improved quality of life. Elite athletes had an 80% decrease in early mortality risk.”

“"In this study, we found, really, that sauna use was inversely associated with the risk of fatal coronary heart disease events and all-cause mortality." - Jari Laukkanen, MD. Learn more about Dr. Jari Laukkanen @LaukkanenJari on Twitter.”

“Learn more about sauna on our in-depth overview page Studies Sauna use associated with reduced risk of cardiac, all-cause mortality (PubMed). Frequent sauna bathing may protect men against dementia, Finnish study suggests (PubMed).”

“The estimated differences were larger for some specific outcomes. One minute of vigorous activity was associated with a risk reduction similar to 7.8 minutes of moderate activity for cardiovascular mortality and 9.4 minutes for incident type 2 diabetes.”

“The study also found that women who increased their strength by 10% or more reduced CRP by 31% compared with women who improved less. Increases in serum CRP levels in breast cancer survivors have been associated with poorer outcomes. For example, a one-unit increase in CRP levels is linked to a 21% increase all-cause mortality and an 18% increase in breast cancer-specific mortality.”

“The study looked at 66,280 in Hong Kong and also found the same amount of exposure to particulate matter was associated with an 80% increased risk of mortality from breast cancer, 42% increased risk of mortality from cancer in the upper digestive tract, 36% increased risk of dying of lung cancer.”
