«RESULTS: At baseline, runners were younger, leaner, and less likely to smoke than controls. HAQ-DI was higher for controls than runners at all time points and increased with age in both groups, but to a lesser degree in runners (0.17, SD 0.34) than controls (0.36, SD 0.55, p<0.001). Multivariable analyses showed that runners had significantly lower risk of HAQ-DI=0.5 (HR 0.62, 95% CI 0.46–0.84). At 19 years, 15% of runners had died compared to 34% of controls. After adjustment for covariates, runners demonstrated a survival benefit (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.45–0.82). Disability and survival curves continued to diverge between groups after 21-years of follow-up as participants approached their ninth decade of life.
CONCLUSIONS: Vigorous exercise (running) at middle and older ages is associated with reduced disability in later life and a notable survival advantage.» -
