Resumen

Los beneficios para la salud derivados del ejercicio regular están científicamente probados. Sin embargo, cuando se trata de deportistas profesionales, cuya actividad física es muy intensa, los beneficios ya no son una evidencia clara. El objetivo de este trabajo es investigar si los deportistas de élite viven más tiempo que la población general. Se recogieron datos sobre la fecha de nacimiento y muerte (en su caso) de los jugadores portugueses y españoles que representaron su selección, así como otras variables de interés. Cada grupo de jugadores se compara con la población general del país respectivo, utilizando los datos disponibles en la Human Mortality Database y cuatro enfoques diferentes. Al final, también se compara la mortalidad de futbolistas portugueses y españoles.
