The brief
Researchers found that people who engaged in about 90 to 120 minutes of strength training per week had a 27% lower mortality rate from neurological disease. The study, which tracked 147,374 people for up to 30 years, also indicated that there was little additional longevity benefit beyond two hours of strength training per week. The Independent, Runner's World, and Sacramento Bee all reported on the study's findings.
The Independent emphasized the potential for strength training to overhaul overall health. Runner's World noted the 'sweet spot' for longevity benefits. The Sacramento Bee focused on the reduced risk of cardiovascular death by 19%.
The findings are not without contradiction. Reporteri and Vero News both noted that strength training can help people feel and think better as they age. The Independent, Runner's World, and Sacramento Bee did not specify any gender differences in their reporting.
