['Survival of the fittest': effect of regular physical exercise on health and life expectancy].

According to the 'Australian burden of disease study', physical inactivity appears to be a leading risk factor in the population at large, accounting for no less than 6.7% of the total loss of disability-adjusted life years. In women it is even the most important risk factor. Regular physical mobility and exercise can reduce this negative influence. The effects are: improvement of cardiovascular fitness, prevention of coronary events, and the reduction of excess mortality. The mortality risk may be reduced by 47% by physical activity, depending on the energy expenditure. Especially the studies of the last two years have so convincingly proven a robust effect of daily physical exercise that on this point permissiveness is no longer acceptable in the advice to the population at large.

Improved life expectancy for children with exstrophy of the bladder.

Life-table techniques demonstrate a 98% ten-year survival, a 96% 20-year survival, and 91% 35-year survival of children with exstrophy of the bladder. These figures represent a vast improvement over the earlier figures, due in large part to technical advances that have been made in areas of surgery, anesthesia, and antibacterial and metabolic therapy.

[Life expectancy and disability in Parkinson disease].

Idiopathic Parkinson's disease is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease with no possibility of curative treatment up until now. The natural course leads to severe handicap or death within 10-15 years, but due to the development of dopaminergic drug therapy life expectancy of parkinsonian patients has normalized and productivity remains good for a longer period during the course of disease.
