Research proposes: walking 10 minutes a day helps to extend life

At the annual meeting of the 2022 European Cardiac Society (ESC 2022) held in Spain from August 26th to 29th, a study pointed out that 1 hour per week can make people 85 and above live longer.

Regardless of age, life lies in exercise. Some research suggests that adults conduct at least 150 minutes of medium -intensity activity or 75 minutes of high -intensity activities per week, or the equivalent combination of the two.

However, among adults, long -lasting time often increases with age, and the amount of activity decreases relatively.

"As you grow older, adults are unlikely to complete the amount of activity of the above proposal." Moo Nyun Jin of the research author and SangGye Paik Hospital of Renji University in South Korea said, "Our research shows that at least 1 week per week 1 Hour (10 minutes every day) is healthy and good for people 85 and above. "

Researchers used the information of the Korean National Health Insurance Agency (NHIS) advanced database to investigate the relationship between walking and risk of cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular disease at the age of 85 and above.

Research data include 7047 (4813 women) who are aged 85 or more. They participated in the Korean National Health Screening Plan from 2009 to 2014. The participants completed a questionnaire on leisure time sports activities, which asked about the time spent on slow walking, medium -intensity activities (such as cycling and fast walking) every week, and high -intensity activities (such as running).

Researchers divide the participants into 5 groups according to the time of slow walking per week: about 4051 (57.5%) participants did not perform slow walking, 597 (8.5%) walking less than 1 hour, 849 (12.0%(12.0%) ) Walking 1 to 2 hours, 610 (8.7%) walk for 2 to 3 hours, 940 (13.3%) per week for more than 3 hours.

Among the people who participated in the research, 1037 (14.7%) participants conducted medium -intensity activities and 773 (10.9%) participants for high -intensity activities. Only 538 participants (7.6%) met the medium intensity to high to high high to high high to high high Guidelines for intensity activity are recommended; 999 people (33%) of 2,996 participants per week have conducted medium -intensity or high -intensity activities.

Based on the level of medium -intensity to high -intensity activity consumes energy, the researchers analyzed the association between walking, full cause, and cardiovascular disease. Compared with individuals who are not active, all people walking for at least 1 hour a week for all causes all causes The mortality of cardiovascular disease decreased by 40%and 39%, respectively.

"Among the elderly, whether they have undergone medium intensity to high -intensity activities, walking is related to lower mortality." Jin said, "Our research shows that for people aged 85 and over, Compared with completely non -active, even if you walk for 1 hour a week, it is beneficial. "
