Fitness At Mid-Life Lowers Medical Costs Later On...
Dear Reader,
Yet more reason to keep on exercising. A new study, a collaboration between the University of Texas-Southwestern Medical Center and the Cooper Institute, that includes over 20,000 subjects has found that subsidizing exercise or fitness related programs for adults during their mid-life years could have a significant impact on the always rising costs of health care these patients will need in later years.
Fit middle-aged adults, both men and women, were found to have far lower medical expenses in later life compared to those who didn't bother to stay in shape. This compelling bit of research was presented at the Quality of Care and Outcomes Research 2012 Scientific Sessions at the American Heart Association meeting.
Study subjects, drawn from the Cooper Center Longitudinal Study, were screened for earlier heart attacks, strokes and any diagnosis of cancer. Of the 20,489 subjects considered "healthy" there were 16,186 men and 4,303 women of an average age of 51 years. Many of the participants were business executives who went to the Center for routine physical checkups.
The fitness levels of the participants were determined by a test on a treadmill that measured metabolic equivalents (METs). The higher the METs, the more fit the subject is considered. Those who exercise regularly, do better on this test because they have an increased aerobic capacity, and this brings better cardiorespiratory health.
The study participants who were most fit were found to have 38% lower medical costs compared to those who were the least fit. This was determined by examining Medicare and supplemental insurance claims made from the ten-year period 1999 to 2009.
The average claims per year for medical costs for the least fit men were $5,134, about 36% higher than the $3,227 spent by the fit males. For women, the least fit had average medical claims of $4,566 (almost 40% higher) while the most fit spent just $2,755 on medical care for the year.
The least fit group also had more health compromising risk factors - 31% of the out of shape men were smokers (only 9% of the most fit men smoked); almost 5% of the lest fit men had diabetes compared to less than 2% of the most fit men. The patterns were similar for the female subjects.

Fitness At Mid-Life Lowers Medical Costs Later On... Continued...
It seems fair to say that being fit in midlife helps with medical costs, even
after the researchers controlled for other things that might impact costs. Smoking
status, having high blood pressure or being obese.
This lends power to programs, such as Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" campaign
intended to bring down the alarming rates of childhood obesity. Right now, according
to Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a preventive cardiologist out of Lenox Hill Hospital,
exercise is the best medicine doctors have to offer patients. It positively impacts
blood pressure, diabetes and mood - the effect of exercise on the body is both
powerful and empowering.
Findings like these encourage all of us, no matter what our age or level of fitness,
to get up and get moving.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
