Overall Pooled Estimates of Life Expectancies in Years for Male and Female Participants With up to a High School Education, No Chronic Conditions, and Physical Activity Values Based on American Standards

Life Expectancies in Years (95% CIs)
For a 70 y Old For a 80 y Old
Male, PA (0 min) 9.82 (8.40, 11.24) 6.50 (5.56, 7.44)
Male, PA (150 min) 13.88 (12.45, 15.31) 9.23 (8.29, 10.18)
Male, PA (300 min) 15.19 (13.74, 16.64) 10.31 (9.34, 11.28)
Female, PA (0 min) 12.66 (10.95, 14.38) 9.07 (7.79, 10.36)
Female, PA (150 min) 16.63 (14.92, 18.34) 11.46 (10.17, 12.75)
Female, PA (300 min) 18.09 (16.36, 19.81) 12.59 (11.27, 13.91)

Note: PA = physical activity; PA (0 minutes) = approximately 0 min of moderate PA per week; PA (150 min) = approximately 150 min of moderate PA per week; PA (300 min) = approximately 300 min of moderate PA per week. Estimates are based on meta-analysis of results from 14 longitudinal studies of aging.
