Where things stand
Frequent sauna use was associated with lower cardiovascular and overall mortality in a long-running Finnish study of men. The finding is interesting, but participants were not randomly assigned to use a sauna: differences in health and lifestyle could help explain the result. It supports further study rather than a promise that sauna sessions extend life. Source ↗ Recently: No update dated within the past 30 days is recorded in our collection.
