Community-level group sports participation and all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and cancer mortality: a 7-year longitudinal study

Promoting group sports within communities holds promise as an effective population-based strategy for extending life expectancy, regardless of individual participation in these groups.PMID:38659037 | DOI:10.1186/s12966-024-01592-9
