Muscle-strengthening activities are associated with lower risk and mortality in major non-communicable diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies

What this work gives Aellic

16 cohort studies: muscle-strengthening activity was associated with 10–17 % lower risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, total cancer and diabetes, independent of aerobic activity. The associations were J-shaped, with the largest risk reduction at about 30–60 min a week; the effect of higher volumes is unclear.
