20 minutes of daily exercise at 70 may stave off major heart disease later

Hindustan Times  

Exercise at an older age is always recommended so that older people can avoid contracting diseases due to lack of physical movement. Now, research has suggested that twenty minutes of daily moderate to vigorous exercise in early old age may best stave off major heart disease, including heart failure, in late old age. Patterns of stable-high physical activity were associated with a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease among men compared with those with stable-low patterns. A J-shaped curve for exercise length was also observed, with the sharpest reduction in heart disease and heart failure associated with a period of between twenty and forty minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day. Nevertheless, they concluded, "These results suggest that public health policies should be targeted at promoting or beginning physical activity in mid-and early late life, given a probable greater effectiveness in reducing cardiovascular risks.
