the ROME. A dog to a longer life. How many times have we heard this slogan. But this time they are the doctors, indeed, the national Federation of the Orders of the medical surgeons and dentists (Fnomceo) to make a clean sweep of every misunderstanding. So on their site “antibufale” dottoremaeveroche.it give credit science to those who may seem the chatter from the bar affected by a great love for our four-legged friends, our companions in life. Because a faithful friend, and leads us to a healthier life-style, and in the open air and there it helps in emotional growth from an early age.
The Italian doctors reported a study published in Circulation – journal of the American Heart Association – where she reveals that a dog could really stretch out the life. The study starts from a review of almost 70 years, global research published between 1950 and may of 2019 – that has affected almost 4 million people in the United States, Canada, Scandinavia, New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom. “Having a dog is associated with a reduction of 24% of all-cause mortality,” said dr. Caroline Kramer, endocrinologa and lead author of the research. And the benefit increases for all the people who have been affected by vascular disease (31%). The greatest chance of healing would also be linked to the more active lifestyle that a person, who perhaps lives alone, is having to do to take care of his dog, even bringing it out, as stated by a group of scholars from the swedes.
The American Heart Association indicates research that found that pet owners who lead walking their dogs are up to 30 minutes of physical activity a day. “There are studies that suggest that people who have dogs have a profile of cholesterol better and lower blood pressure. And stroking a dog can reduce blood pressure as much as a drug,” continues Kramer.
