Lifestyle Longevidade

Almost everyone knows that to gain years of life you have to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Right? In addition, recently, a study conducted in Canada concluded that people who ran about a kilometer in less than four minutes lived five years longer than their peers.

To reach this conclusion, made available in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, the researchers analyzed the average life expectancy of the first 200 athletes to run 1.6 kilometers in less than four minutes.

All were men who were born between 1928 and 1955. Of the athletes, 60 had died by December 2023, with an average life expectancy of 73 years. Those who were still alive were, on average, 77 years old.

Taking into account the place and date of birth of each athlete, the team calculated that the athletes lived, on average, 4.7 years longer than the general population.
