• Older adults who participate weekly in many different types of leisure time activities, such as walking for exercise, jogging, swimming laps, or playing tennis, may have a lower risk of death from any cause, as well as death from cardiovascular disease and cancer, according to a new study led by researchers at the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health. (nih.gov)
  • The findings suggest that it's important for older adults to engage in leisure time activities that they enjoy and can sustain, because many types of these activities may lower the risk of death, the authors wrote. (nih.gov)
  • Using data from 272,550 adults between ages 59 and 82 who had completed questionnaires about their leisure time activities as part of the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study, the researchers looked at whether participating in equivalent amounts of seven different exercise and recreational activities-including running, cycling, swimming, other aerobic exercise, racquet sports, golf, and walking for exercise - was associated with lowered risk of death.

  • Although the risk of death from heart disease increases with age, a recent NIA-supported study suggests that adults 75 and older who start taking a cholesterol-lowering drug known as a statin may have a lower risk of death than nonusers. (nih.gov)
  • To investigate the effects of new statin use in this age group, a research team at the Veterans Administration Boston Healthcare System, which is part of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, analyzed health records of older adults who had received medical care from the Veterans Health Administration between 2002 and 2016. (nih.gov)
  • Another consideration for this study is that while analyzing medical records for a large population can provide evidence of a drug's benefit, only a well-designed clinical trial can provide definitive evidence that statin therapy is safe and effective in adults 75 and older. (nih.gov)
  • NIA is currently supporting a trial that will enroll 20,000 people to examine the overall benefits and risks of statins in adults 75 and older without heart disease. (nih.gov)
