Healthspan Part 5: Obesity and Exercise, Understanding the Impact
Obesity, often measured by body mass index (BMI) in the general public, is a complex condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of body fat. It has reached pandemic proportions, especially in the United States, and has become a critical global health concern. Obesity is not just about excess weight; it is a serious metabolic syndrome closely linked to a range of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. These associated health conditions significantly compromise healthspan, placing an immense burden on both individual well-being and healthcare systems.
Healthspan Part 4: Exercise Benefits in Skeletal Muscle Mass & Strength
Skeletal muscle quality, which includes both muscle mass (the number and size of muscle fibers) and muscle strength (force production and contractility), is critical for maintaining mobility, balance, and motor coordination. Loss of muscle mass and strength can significantly impact healthspan, reducing the overall quality of life. Age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass, known as sarcopenia, along with increased frailty, is one of the leading causes of morbidity among the aging population, affecting over 10% of individuals over 60 years of age. However, regular exercise can significantly delay or even prevent the loss of muscle mass, thereby extending healthspan.

In the modern world where unhealthy lifestyle choices and chronic diseases taper the healthspan, which lead to an enormous economic burden, finding ways to promote healthspan becomes a pressing goal of the scientific community. Exercise, one of humanity’s most ancient and effective lifestyle interventions, appears to be at the centre of the solution since it can both treat and prevent the occurrence of many chronic diseases. Here, I will review the current evidence and opinions about regular exercise promoting healthspan through enhancing the functionality of our organ systems and preventing diseases.
