Impact of Sexual Activity on Health and Mortality

Women who abstain from sex may be at a higher risk of death within five years, while men with the most sex are also at risk of early death. Regular sexual activity is linked to better cardiovascular health and may help reduce the harmful effects of depression. The study found that high sexual frequency increased mortality risk for men but not for women.

Impact of Sedentary Behavior on Mortality Risk

Sitting for long periods of time can increase the risk of premature death, even if one exercises regularly, according to a study from the University of California-San Diego. The study examined the relationship between sedentary behavior and mortality risk among older women.
