Exercise study tests new hope for elderly with multiple diseases

This study looks at whether 10 weeks of physical exercise can lower blood sugar and blood pressure in elderly people who have two or more health conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, or depression. About 63 volunteers aged 60 and older will be randomly assigned to land-based exercise, aquatic exercise, or a no-exercise control group. The goal is to see if either type of exercise is better than doing nothing for managing these common health problems.
