A recently-published study
in the JAMA Internal Medicine shows that fitness in youth may reduce the risk
of heart-related death in middle age.
The study included nearly 5,000
adults who were between 18 and 30 in the mid-1980s when they completed baseline
treadmill tests. Over 26 years, data showed that higher levels of fitness and
improvement in fitness early in adulthood are associated with lower risks for
heart disease and mortality.
