A sizable body of epidemiological evidence links physical fitness to improved health, greater longevity, and slowed aging in later life. Use it or lose it, as they say. Here researchers quantify the degree to which physical fitness can slow the onset of the chronic diseases of aging. Obviously one can’t escape degenerative aging via exercise, but given that maintaining fitness has one of the larger presently available effects on the long-term trajectory of health, why not make the effort?

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) has been linked to lower risk of individual chronic diseases, but little is known about the CRF in relation to multimorbidity. Thus the authors here investigated the association between CRF and multimorbidity risk and explored differences in the trajector…
