Researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden have revealed that it is necessary for people in their young age to exercise. The team says the absence of this habit of exercising can raise one's risk of early death.

It is being said that there would be no difference in the risks of early death, if a young man has weaker muscles or if he has the problem of obesity or high blood pressure or a heart disease.

More than a million male adolescents of ages 16 to 19 years from the country were enrolled for the review. Following all of them for a period of 24 years, it was found that the ones with stronger muscles were at lesser risks of facing early death, death before 55 years of age, by 20-35%, may it be any cause.

As per the findings, three reliable muscular strength tests were conducted during the start, including knee extension strength, elbow flexion strength and handgrip strength. The participants also got measured their BMI and blood pressure.

While 26,145 participants died during the study, with suicide as the main cause, it was stronger adolescents, who showed lower risks of committing suicide. Suggestions are therefore, say researchers, to engage regularly in physical activity and improve muscular fitness.
