Senior author Aladdin H. Shadyab said: “Our study showed that, even if you aren’t likely to live long based on your genes, you can still extend your lifespan by engaging in positive lifestyle behaviours such as regular exercise and sitting less.
“Conversely, even if your genes predispose you to a long life, remaining physically active is still important to achieve longevity.”
Based on these findings, the study is recommending older women to partake in physical activities of any intensity to cut the risk of disease as well as premature death.
The NHS guidelines recommend all adults to do some type of exercise on a daily basis.
