Older adults who adhered to a low-calorie diet with regular exercise had lower rates of cancer also benefits of weight training include increased ability to burn calories and prevention of osteoporosis.

As for the calcium and vitamin D supplements, it helped the seniors slow rates of bone loss and reduce the number of bone fractures.

"Our study reviews and presents the most up-to-date information showing the influence a healthy lifestyle may have on cardiovascular disease, cancer and osteoporosis," Rivlin said.

"I also believe that the risk for other diseases, like diabetes and pulmonary disease, can also be avoided through later intervention. But, the earlier, the better,” Rivlin added.

The study is published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
