Even if you waited til midlife or later, it still pays to get your body moving.
即使已近中年或老年，運動鍛煉仍然對你有好處。
Because a study of about 3,400 people between the ages of 54 and 73 found that even moderate physical activity just once a week was associated with less physical and mental impairment.
因為一項對年齡在54到73歲之間的3400人進行的研究表明即便是每周一次溫和的運動也能減少生理和精神上的損傷。
Researchers tracked British adults for eight years.
研究者們對英國成年人進行了為期8年的跟蹤調(diào)查。
Even new moderate movers were about three times more likely to age free of major chronic disease or mental deterioration than were inactive adults.
即使是跟年齡無關(guān)初級水平的健身者比不活動的成年人對主要常見慢性身體疾病或者精神損傷有三倍的免疫力。
The findings are in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
這一研究已在《英國運動醫(yī)學(xué)》雜志上發(fā)表。
Adults who were already active at the start of the study were even better off.
而研究調(diào)查開始時已經(jīng)加入健身行列的成年人會獲得更好的免疫效果。
Four years after being initially evaluated, they were seven times more likely to be healthy than inactive people.
在開始評估四年后，他們更健康的可能性是不活動人士的7倍。
That's even after accounting for differences in age, sex, smoking, wealth, alcohol intake and marital status.
這個結(jié)果甚至是考量過年齡、性別、吸煙情況、財務(wù)狀況、酒精攝入量及婚姻狀況等條件差異過后得出的。
And since people tend to report more exercise than they really do, actually engaging in physical activity may boost health even more than we know.
而且人們往往夸大他們的實際運動量，所以實際上涉及到的運動也許比我們現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)知道的更能促進身體健康。
So even if you haven't exercised since you passed your last high school gym class—in 1970—you can benefit by getting off the couch.
所以，如果從最后一次高中體育課結(jié)束后就沒特別鍛煉過身體的話—大概是在1970年比如說—那么你現(xiàn)在離開沙發(fā)馬上活動吧。
