Exercise as the Most Potent Longevity Intervention
Dr. Peter Atia, a medical doctor and longevity expert, believes that exercise is the most potent longevity intervention. Through data analysis, he demonstrates that measures of cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, and muscle mass have significantly larger hazard ratios for all-cause mortality compared to known disease conditions. For example, individuals with high aerobic capacity have a 400% lower risk of mortality than those in the bottom 25%. This suggests that exercise plays a crucial role in living longer and must be prioritized for improved health and longevity.
