Regular Jogging and Life Expectancy


An unpublished Danish study presented at the EuroPRevent2012 meeting found that regular, slow jogging for 1-2.5 hours per week in 2-3 sessions increased the lifespan in men by 6.2 years and in women by 5.6 years. It is unclear whether the jogging alone played a role, or if the joggers also tended to eat a healthier diet. the two often go hand in hand, in it can be rather articificial to try and separate them.
