Regular running slows the effects of aging, according to a new medical school study that
has tracked 500 older runners for more than 20 years.

Elderly runners have fewer disabilities, a longer span of active life and are half as likely
as aging nonrunners to die early deaths, the research found.

"The study has a very pro-exercise message," said James Fries, MD, an emeritus professor of medicine at the medical school and the study's senior author.

After 21 years, their running time declined to an average of 76 minutes per week, but
they were still seeing health benefits from running.

On average both groups in the study became more disabled after 21 years of aging, but
for runners the onset of disability started later.
