Physical
Fitness in Youth Can Lead to a Healthy Middle Age
A
long-term study of men and women by scientists at
a consortium of universities and research centers
determined that those at a high level of cardiorespiratory
fitness as young adults were half as likely as those
at a low or moderate fitness level to have developed
high blood pressure and diabetes 15 years later. The
National Institutes of Health reports that the study,
the results of which were published in the December
17, 2003, issue of the Journal of the American Medical
Association, gauged the fitness and health of 4,487
men and women in 1984 and again in 1999.

Counseling
May Improve Health among Obese Adults
While the jury is still out on direct
evidence of the health benefits of counseling obese
adults on diet, exercise, and behavior, the U.S. Preventive
Services Task Force (USPSTF) maintains that such intermediate
outcomes as reduced blood pressure and modest weight
loss offer indirect evidence of health benefits, according
to the Annals of Internal Medicine. USPSTF's recommendations
are based on an examination of recent obesity research.
