title: [Sauna-goers live longer!].
abstract: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) and death from cardiovascular disease are the most frequent causes of death in the general population. A new Finnish long-term study demonstrates that regular sauna bathing significantly reduces cardiovascular mortality - the more frequent and longer the more the benefit. This new insight creates new opportunities for primary prevention of SCD and cardiovascular death.
