It's been a busy week — from lab leak theories at a COVID-19 origins hearing to the Supreme Court's eagerly anticipated decision on access to the abortion pill mifepristone. But that's not all that's going on in the health space. Here are some interesting updates you may have missed, as reported by Yahoo News partners.
Researchers looked at records from competitors at the Commonwealth Games since 1930 and found significant differences in the lifespan of medal winners versus the lifespan of people in the general population born in the same year.
“We’ve long known that playing sport has a variety of health benefits, but our research shows what a significant impact top-level sport can have on the longevity of the world’s athletes,” said Professor Les Mayhew, associate head of global research at the ILC. Men’s longevity was boosted 29% in aquatics, 25% in track and 24% in indoor sports, which researchers said translates to between 4.5 and 5.3 extra years of life. Women’s longevity was boosted 22%, or 3.9 years, across all sports.
Some other interesting findings noted by the researchers: Wrestlers live longer than boxers; long-distance runners’ longevity is marginally higher than that of short-distance runners; and cycling was the only sport not associated with longer lives.
