In this study, researchers looked at surveys from over 60,000 U.S. Adults and asked about their physical activity, health, personal background, and other measures. One of the main questions they looked at was…
- “Would you say that you are physically more active, less active, or about as active as other persons your age?”
After collecting the results, the researchers then followed up on this study 21 years later by looking at death records of participants.
What they discovered was that individuals who reported that they were “less active” were 71% more likely to die within that follow-up period than those who reported they were “more active,” even after controlling for physical activity, age, body mass index, chronic illness, and other factors.
