Your Fitness Level After 40 Can Add Years to Your Life and Boost Health

**The Importance of Midlife Fitness for a Longer, Healthier Life** Regular physical activity and fitness levels play a crucial role in overall health and well-being.

Research has shown that adults with higher levels of midlife cardiorespiratory fitness may live longer, healthier lives. In fact, a recent study found that individuals with higher fitness levels not only lived longer but also developed chronic conditions later than those with lower fitness levels.

**How Cardiorespiratory Fitness Affects Life Span and Health Span** Cardiorespiratory fitness refers to the ability of your heart and lungs to supply oxygen during physical activity. The study revealed that adults with higher midlife cardiorespiratory fitness lived longer, developed fewer chronic diseases, and spent more years free from serious illness than those with lower fitness levels.

According to Dr. Robert Glatter, attending physician in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, "The findings are very much in line with decades of research showing that cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the strongest markers of long-term health."

**The Benefits of Higher Midlife Fitness** The study results showed that higher midlife fitness can prolong life span by 3% and improve health span. Specifically, males with higher fitness levels had a: * 2% longer health span * 9% fewer diseases * 3% longer life span The results showed similar patterns among females.

"This study confirms our understanding of cardiorespiratory fitness as a marker of future health outcomes, and should encourage all of us to make physical activity a part of our daily lives," said Dr. Cheng-Han Chen, board certified interventional cardiologist and medical director of the Structural Heart Program at MemorialCare Saddleback Medical Center in Laguna Hills, CA.
