Going to church may extend life
However, such benefits do not come for free. The study estimated the cost of each year of life apparently gained by each method.
The costs were based on average gym fees, medical costs and household donations to religious institutions:
The approximate cost per life-year gained was:
* $2,000 to $6,000 for regular exercise
* $3,000 to $10,000 for regular religious attendance
* $4,000 and $14,000 for cholesterol-lowering drugs.
