Melbourne, Mar 23 : A new study by University of South Carolina researchers has found that women who work out are three times less likely to die of breast cancer.
The study indicated that aerobically fit women are three times less likely to die of the disease than those who seldom exercise.
For the study, researchers examined 14,000 women who were given preventive medical exams and treadmill tests at the Cooper Clinic in Houston from 1970-2001.
At the time of their exams, the women, ages 20 through 83, had no history of breast cancer.
