“Even if it’s just 90 minutes a week”… Strength exercise lowers risk of death from dementia and heart disease

A study showed that adults who did strength training for 90 to 119 minutes a week had a 13% lower overall risk of death than those who did not exercise. The reduction in risk of death was greater when aerobic exercise was combined, but the additional longevity effect was not evident when strength training exceeded 2 hours a week.
