Description: 

A study by the Imperial Cancer Research Fund shows that older women in Britain are more likely than younger ones to exercise. Their study showed that women over age 65 exercised about twice as often as women age 25-34. Nearly half of the older women exercised daily, compared with only about one quarter of younger women. The most often cited reason for failing to exercise was a lack of time.
