This is good information...I knew running was good, but I didn't know it was that good!

 

...The work tracked 500 older runners for more than 20 years, comparing them to a similar group of non-runners. All were in their 50s at the start of the study.

 

Nineteen years into the study, 34% of the non-runners had died compared to only 15% of the runners.

 

Both groups became more disabled with age, but for the runners the onset of disability started later - an average of 16 years later....
