The study was conducted from 1986 and involved men and woman with the ages from 50's to 60's and of those 16.7% of men lived to 90 and 34.4% of woman lived to 90 

The woman that did get to 90, where statistically taller, weighted less and have put on less weight than others researched. 

Woman who where more than 175cm in height were 31% were more likely to each 90 than woman less than 160cm in height.

With men, no associated of height was noted. 

However, with men, men who did more than 90minutes of exercise were 39% more likely to each 90 versus men who did 30 minutes of exercise or ess.
