Hunter-gatherer populations in which fairly high levels of exercise are the norm have excellent heart health in later life in comparison to more sedentary first world populations. Hunter-gatherers exhibit very little atrial fibrillation, for example. So it isn’t all that surprising to see that greater levels of exercise in those first world populations correlate with reduced incidence of atrial fibrillation, one more item in the long list of reasons to undertake more rather than less physical activity.

Researchers focused on atrial fibrillation, a condition in which the heart’s upper two chambers beat rapidly and irregularly instead of at a consistent pace. If left …
