Cycling prolongs life? Look at the data

Many people want to live forever, such as the Qin Shihuang who sent Xu Fu to look for medicine overseas, such as the monster who coveted Tang Monk’s meat…

Even in modern times, this topic has always been a hot topic.

“Every hour you ride, your life will be extended by one hour.” “If you ride on your bike all the time, you will live forever.”? Let’s take a look at several sets of data to make a final conclusion.

Scientists at the University of Glasgow have studied the relationship between commuting and cardiovascular disease, cancer and other diseases.

They recorded 263450 participants (average age 52, 52% female).

Participants used various methods to commute: walking, cycling and motor vehicles.

By the end of the study, 2430 participants died of natural causes, while the breakdown data showed that the death rate of cyclists was the lowest.

Sports background and life span An epidemiologist observed the sports background and life span of 80306 adults.

It was found that the death probability of cyclists was reduced by 15% (similar to swimming, tennis, bodybuilding and other sports).

Scientists from the Department of Science of Valencia University in Spain observed 834 cyclists (from France, Italy and Belgium) who participated in the Tour de France between 1930 and 1964.

As a result, they found that the average life expectancy of drivers around France was 81.5 years, while that of the general population was 73.5 years.

Tour de France is probably one of the most difficult sports events in the world.

These drivers live longer than most people.
