Twin study shows lower risk of mortality with physical activity in adults, indicating lifestyle influences biological ageing.

Long-term physical activity is associated with significant impacts on biological ageing and mortality.
Active individuals demonstrate a maximum 7% lower risk of total mortality compared to sedentary peers.
Using survival models, the study analyzed mortality outcomes across various physical activity classes in a twin cohort.
The findings suggest that lifestyle-related factors may influence biological ageing rather than being solely causal for mortality reduction.

Kankaanpää et al. (2023) studied this question.
