Exercise Habit Linked to Reduced Dementia and Longer Life
A study from Harvard analyzed data from over 147,000 adults and found that engaging in 90 to 119 minutes of weekly resistance training is associated with a lower risk of death from various causes, including heart disease and neurological conditions. Combining resistance training with aerobic exercise reduces mortality risk by up to 45%, but more than 120 minutes per week offers no additional benefits. The research emphasizes the importance of strength training for healthy aging, mobility, and independence, though it does not establish a direct causal relationship.
