It might be a good idea to pick up (or keep up) an active hobby as you get older: regular exercise such as jogging, swimming, or playing tennis can reduce the risk of death from any cause in older adults, a new study shows.
Across all the categories, a 13 percent reduction in mortality risk from any cause was seen, compared with no participation in these activities. That's based on 7.5-15 MET hours of activity a week, the amount recommended by the US health agency.
The researchers also broke down the findings by activity type and cause of death. Running, for example, showed the greatest reduction in the risk of dying of cancer: a drop of 19 percent on average. "These activities both require synchronized action from many muscles for correct form, and racquet sports also require hand-eye coordination and intermittent bursts of very high intensity, which may additionally improve physical functioning,"Those who exercised more than the recommended number of hours were shown to reduce their mortality risk even further, the study shows, though with diminishing returns as the time spent exercising increases.
