A daily half hour's exercise could prevent 1 in 12 early deaths, study shows
People who exercise five days a week for 30 minutes significantly reduce their risk of dying early and of developing heart
disease, even if a sports club or gym is not an option, according to a new international study.
Tracking 130,000 people in 17 countries, both rich and poor, the study found that whether it’s going to the gym, walking
to work, or tackling household chores like laundry or gardening, being physically active extends life and reduces illness. The
researchers, led by Scott Lear, a heart specialist at St Paul’s Hospital in Canada, also found a so-called dose response: The
more people exercise, the greater the reductions are in their risks of getting heart disease or dying early. The study found “no
ceiling effect”, the researchers said, and “no risks associated with extremely high levels of physical activity,” defined as more
than 2,500 minutes, or more than 41 hours, per week.
Cardiovascular disease is the world’s leading cause of death and a major economic burden in treatment and care for
those who develop it. It killed 9.48 million people globally in 2016.
“Walking for as little as 30 minutes most days of the week has a substantial benefit, and higher physical activity is
associated with even lower risks,” Lear said in a comment about the findings, published on Friday in The Lancet medical journal.
He also noted that some measures to prevent or treat heart disease, such as taking medicines or eating more fruit and
vegetables, can be unaffordable for the world’s poorest people. Yet walking is free and brings substantial health gains.
The World Health Organization recommends that adults aged 18 to 64 do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity
aerobic physical activity throughout each week, as well as muscle strengthening exercises at least two days a week. But experts
estimate almost a quarter of the world’s people do not reach these guideline levels.
Lear’s team said their study findings suggest that if the entire population were to meet the guidelines, one in 12 of the
world’s premature deaths would be averted and 4.6 percent of heart disease cases prevented.

A
Doctors pointed out that one should be careful with higher doses of exercise since it has been proven that this poses
a clear risk.
B
Heart diseases are responsible for most deaths in the world and they also represent a significant financial load.
C
The research team leader commented that some preventive actions, such as a daily walking, would remain beyond
the reach of those with a lower income.
D
The research states that if the world population followed the guidelines, 25% of heart diseases could be prevented.
E
Another research conducted with130.000 people in17 countries refuted the relation between exercising and avoiding
early death.
