They seemed to have a lower mortality up to the ages of 55-60.
After that, they died off at a significantly higher rate than
sedentary counterparts.
A study has also been done on the life expectancy of U.S. professional
football players. They have amazingly short life spans. On average,
they only live to their mid-50's.
Still, I want to believe moderate exercise is beneficial.
