A Little Regular Exercise Extends Men’s Lives
Brisk 30-minute walk a few days a week cut death risk
in half, study found
By tracking fatalities through June 2007, Kokkinos
and his colleagues found that for both black and
white men it was their fitness level, rather than their
age, blood pressure or body-mass index, that was
most strongly linked to their future risk for death.
By Alan Mozes - HealthDay Reporter

testing and research lab, cardiology department,
Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Washington D.C.;
Alice H. Lichtenstein, D.Sc., director, Cardiovascular
Nutrition Lab, Gershoff professor of nutrition, USDA
Human Nutrition Research Center, Tufts University,
Boston, and former vice chair, nutrition committee,
American Heart Association; Jan. 22, 2008,
Circulation, online)
Every extra point in MET conferred a 14 percent
reduction in the risk for death among black men, and
a 12 percent reduction among whites. Among all participants, those categorized as “moderately fit” (5 to 7
METS) had about a 20 percent lower risk for death
than “low-fit” men. “High-fit” men (7 to 10 METS)
had a 50 percent lower risk, while the “very high fit”
(10 METS or higher) cut their odds of an early death
by 70 percent.
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 23 (HealthDay News) — Even a
moderate amount of exercise can dramatically prolong a man’s life, new research on middle-aged and
elderly American veterans reveals.
The government-sponsored analysis — the largest
such study ever — found that a regimen of brisk
walking 30 minutes a day at least four to six days a
week was enough to halve the risk of premature death
from all causes.
“As you increase your ability to exercise — increase
your fitness — you are decreasing in a step-wise fashion the risk of death,” said study author Peter
Kokkinos, director of the exercise testing and
research lab in the cardiology department of the
Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
That conclusion applies more or less equally to white
and black men, regardless of their prior history of cardiovascular disease. According to Kokkinos, that may
be because the veterans in the study all received the
same level of care, regardless of income.
This evened the playing field, he said, giving him
“great confidence” in the results, which will be published in the Feb. 5 issue of Circulation and were
The scenario that work is not about the money has
been touted by consultants and others for years. The
virtues of other workplace facets including , reward
and recognition, and being have been placed center field and extolled. The answer is yes. Work is
about the money until you have enough to fulfill
your basic needs. Then, the other factors come into
play. Although has been somewhat discredited in
recent years, the basic premise still makes sense.
People are not looking to self-actualize until a
whole lot of other needs are met first. These
include basic needs for food, shelter, water, safety,
and socialization. You can maximize your lifetime
income potential and . One of the key factors in
accomplishing this is to . The best jobs require a
degree and your with the degree according to
Robert Longley, About’s U.S. Government
Information editor. Why set goals for anything less
for yourself and your children?
Your Lifetime Income
Potential
Work is about the money. Work only becomes not
about the money when you have sufficient income –
however you define sufficient income – to support
your chosen life style. With sufficient money to live
on, work can then become about making a difference,
contribution, sharing an important mission, doing
tasks you love, feeling important, making friends,
released online Jan. 22.
In the study, Kokkinos and his team reviewed information gathered by the VA from 15,660 black and
white male patients treated either in Palo Alto, Calif.,
or in Washington, D.C.
The men ranged in age from 47 to 71 and had been
referred to a VA medical facility for a clinically prescribed treadmill exercise test sometime between
1983 and 2006. All participants were asked to run
until fatigued, at which point the researchers recorded the total amount of energy expended and oxygen
consumed.
The numbers were then crunched into “metabolic
equivalents,” or METS. In turn, the researchers graded the fitness of each man according to his MET
score, ranging from “low-fit” (below 5 METS) to
“very-high fit” (above 10 METS).
“The point is, it takes relatively little exercise to
achieve the benefit we found,” noted Kokkinos.
“Approximately two to three hours per week of brisk
walking per week. That’s just 120 to 200 minutes per
week. And this can be split up throughout the week,
and throughout the day. So it’s doable in the real
world.”
Alice H. Lichtenstein, director of the Cardiovascular
Nutrition Lab at Tufts University’s USDA Human
Nutrition Research Center in Boston, agreed.
“What this finding demonstrates is that levels of
physical activity that should be achievable by anyone
can have a real benefit with respect to risk reduction,”
she said.
“What’s really important to understand is that you
don’t need special clothes, special memberships, special equipment,” added Lichtenstein, former chairwoman of the American Heart Association’s nutrition committee. “It’s something everyone can engage
in. And although we don’t know from this research
that this applies to women as well, there’s no reason
to suspect that it wouldn’t.”
EMPLOYMENT
gaining success, pleasing customers, and achievement. All of these goals, that , come into play when
you make sufficient money.
Your Choices Determine
Your Lifetime Income
Potential
Thus, the amount of money that you want to make,
and do make during your lifetime of working, is
dependant upon your beliefs, attitudes, values, and
career choices. If you value helping people in need,
you can anticipate a particular salary over the course
of your career. As long as your values are more important than what you are paid, your choice is fine. But,
you cannot set a goal of making a million dollars a
year, make a career choice that pays $40,000 per year,
and expect to be happy with your career decisions and
the money you make over time. Almost everyone
thinks that they should make more money than they
do. But the amount of money you are paid by your
employer is dependant upon a number of factors.
