The trend overall in society has been that people are both living longer lives, and also have shorter periods of morbidity at the end of life.

Moderate exercise would seem to be helpful for both length and quality of life.

Have your cake and eat it too!

"Shorter periods of morbidity" surprises me -- where'd you get that from? (I would've guessed the opposite, from the stories of people kept alive in hospitals unpleasantly long, but I don't have data.)
