Patients and Methods
This study includes 3175 participants in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study who self-reported PA by questionnaire at 8 follow-up examinations over 25 years (from March 1985-June 1986 through June 2010-May 2011). The presence of CAC (CAC>0) at year 25 was measured using computed tomography. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to identify PA trajectories with increasing age.
This is good stuff so far....The CARDIA study is a multicenter, community-based, longitudinal cohort study designed to investigate the development of CHD risk factors in young adults. The baseline cohort consisted of 5115 black and white men and women aged 18 to 30 years (at baseline) who were recruited from March 1, 1985, through June 30, 1986, from 4 cities in the United States (Birmingham, Alabama; Chicago, Illinois; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Oakland, California), with population-based samples approximately balanced within center by sex, age (18-24 years and 25-30 years), race (white or black), and educational level (high school or less or higher than high school).() Participant data have been collected across 8 examination cycles, including baseline and at years 2, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, and 25, with retention of the cohort of 91%, 86%, 81%, 79%, 74%, 72%, and 72%, respectively. Details about the study design, sampling strategy, eligibility criteria, and baseline demographic characteristics have been previously published.16
For this analysis, we excluded 1616 participants (32%) who did not have CAC assessment at the year 25 examination (June 1, 2010, through May 31, 2011) and, furthermore, if they did not have at least 3 measures of PA during the 25 years of follow-up (examinations 1-8) (n=324). The remaining 3175 participants were included in the analytic sample, representing 62.1% of the initial CARDIA cohort at baseline. The study was approved by the institutional review board at each center, and written informed consent was obtained from all the participants.
Rafters just off this commentyooooo.... Im on the Q train busting out laughing!
Don’t get me wrong, do visit. It’s the greatest city in the world. Just avoid the subways if you can.
Naturally women outlive men generally.another interesting take away from this study is that Black women need to start exercising more(less than 20% of black women in the study were physically active):

But interestingly enough, Black women tend to outlive black males on average anyways
But perhaps the true reason lies in the testosterone that drives most other male characteristics, from deeper voices and hairier chests to balding crowns.
Evidence comes from an unexpected place: the Imperial Court of the Chosun Dynasty in Korea. Korean scientist Han-Nam Park recently analysed the detailed records of court life from the 19th Century, including information about 81 eunuchs whose testicles had been removed before puberty. His analyses revealed that the eunuchs lived for around 70 years – compared to an average of just 50 years among the other men in the court.
Overall, they were 130 times more likely to celebrate their hundredth birthday than the average man living in Korea at the time. Even the kings – who were the most pampered people in the palace – did not come close.
Although not all studies of other types of eunuch have shown such pronounced differences, overall it seems that people (and animals) without testicles do live longer.
