Exercise does not increase lifespan. Genes do.

Exercise does not increase lifespan.
Genes do.

"Previous observational follow-up studies in humans suggest that increasing fitness through physical activity levels could prolong life; however, our controlled interventional study with laboratory rats bred for low and high intrinsic fitness contrast with these findings. Also, we find no evidence for the suggested association using pairwise analysis among monozygotic twin pairs who are discordant in their physical activity levels. Based on both our animal and human findings, we propose that genetic pleiotropy might partly explain the frequently observed associations between high baseline physical activity and later reduced mortality in humans."

        the point is there was nothing to disprove to begin with. Disproving a non finding with another non finding. Rats are not humans believe it or not. Unfortunately I don't have a study to back that up

    >Unadjusted pairwise HR for death among active compared to inactive members for DZ pairs was lower (HR 0.58 [95% CI 0.46–0.74]) than among MZ pairs (0.85 [0.56–1.30]. When this secondary analysis was repeated in the baseline-healthy subgroup the HRs were 0.64 (0.45–0.89) for DZ pairs and 1.05 (0.58–1.88) for MZ pairs, respectively.
    Isn't the human portion of the paper built entirely on a hazard ratio with a confidence interval that crosses 1, making it entirely useless?
    Hardly surprising given it's based on just 55 monozygotic twin pairs.

    Sorta agree
    Granny is 90 years old this year, was fat all her life and ate eastern European peasant slop all her life too (which admitedly is still healthier than the commercial goy slop in the stories today)
    Never exercised 1 minute of her life except the required physical activities for living in the countryside. Never left her village. Is still alive and kicking today with no signs of dying anytime soon, never had a serious illness or injury either, just the common stuff everyone gets once in a while. Ia deeply religious while cursing God daily, doesn't give a shit about what "health" is, just does whatever she did in 9 fricking decades of existence, all day every day.

    >rat studies
    even then, let's assume the outcome is legit and lifespan does not change. Would this take into account quality of life and level of intervention to keep an unhealthy person alive longer. For example, a fit man living to 90 without needing any medical treatments is a lot different than some obese diabetic amerigolem who's only able to continue breathing due to being pumped full of insulin and a dozen pills and getting new cardiac stents put in twice a year
