How does body size affect life expectancy in men and women?


 A new study looking at the life expectancy of men and women from the Netherlands has just come out with some interesting results!


The study was conducted in 1986 and involved men and women between the ages 50's to 60's and of those 16.7% of men lived to 90 and 34.4% of women lived to 90 


The woman that did get to 90, were statistically taller, weighed less, and put on less weight than others researched. 


Women who were more than 175cm in height were 31% more likely to reach 90 than women less than 160cm in height.


With men, no association of height was noted. 


However, with men, men who did more than 90 minutes of exercise were 39% more likely to reach 90 versus men who did 30 minutes of exercise or less. 


With exercise in men, for every 30 minutes of exercise, there is a 5% increase chance of reaching 90. 


For women, it was a bit different. It is recommended that they get 60 minutes of exercise a day
