Fit Teens Live Longer? Maybe Not, Says New Study

Summary

Nutrition label

84% Informative

A new study from Uppsala University calls into question decades of research suggesting that physical fitness in youth leads to longer life.

The researchers tracked Swedish men from their military conscription at age 18 through their 60s , examining how their adolescent fitness levels correlated with premature death from various causes.

The study tracked specific mortality outcomes among the 1.1 million participants.

Relationship between adolescent cardiorespiratory fitness and long-term health is more nuanced than previously thought.

As science continues to refine our understanding of fitness and longevity, the most accurate conclusion may be that the relationship may be more nuanced.
