Abstract
China is facing the challenge of "deep aging", and promoting healthy aging has become a key research topic. Both medical care and physical exercise are important for health, but while medical services focus on treating illness, physical fitness activities focus on prevention, making them a more effective approach for promoting healthy aging.

Research summary
The paper addresses the relationship between physical fitness activities and medical expenditure in the aged group, which is relevant to promoting healthy aging. However, while it discusses prevention through physical fitness, it does not delve into the root causes of aging or lifespan extension. The findings may contribute to understanding health economics in aging populations, but the impact on the broader field of longevity research is limited.
