A new study shows that proper running lowers the risk of premature (过早的) death.In an analysis of 14 previous studies from the US and Denmark, the group of researchers from institutes in Australia and Finland concluded t

17、hat increasing running participation would probably lead to substantial improvements in population health and longevity. The studies involved 232,149 participants over time periods ranging from 5.5 to 35 years.Overall, people running any distance were associated with a 27% lower risk of death from a

18、ll causes than those who did not, the analysis shows.

19、ccording to the researchers. Lead researcher Jim White, a professor at Victoria University in Melbourne, told CNN, “Our recent findings may motivate physically inactive individuals to take up running and those who already run to keep on doing it.”He added that doctors may be encouraged by our findin

However, they did say advice should be given on a case-by-case basis, as running might not be appropriate for everyone. Although running has a clear overall health benefit, the researchers point out that higher “do
