1. As little as 10 min/wk of aerobic exercises caused lesser deaths in elderly as compared to <10 min.
2. Benefits of aerobic activity were seen up to 300 min or more per week.
3. 32% lower deaths occurred with >300 min/wk of aerobic exercises as compared to 17% in 10-150 min grp

4. For muscle strengthening activity (MSA), the effect on death rate was U shaped. Deaths were higher with <2 and >6 sessions of MSA. Lowest deaths occurred in elderly doing 2-6 sessions of MSA.
Conclusions
1. Aerobic exercises reduce risk of death in elderly & all elderly including those >85 yrs should engage in 150 min or more of aerobic exercises per week.
2. 2-6 sessions of muscle strengthening exercises per week is ideal. 7 or more sessions may increase death risk
