Shane Naidoo, Nirmala Naidoo

PMID 40061855

WHAT IT FOUND

This paper reviews how ageing affects body systems and summarises existing evidence on physical activity.

It does not present new clinical results, so it offers background knowledge rather than actionable findings for patient care.

What this paper is

This is a narrative review discussing the biological mechanisms of ageing and summarising previous studies on physical activity. It reports no new patient data, methods, or outcomes of its own, so there is nothing here to change your practice on.
