Blood clots can affect people of all ages, but they become increasingly common as people age, particularly among people who are 55 years old or older. In addition, a sedentary lifestyle, which can go hand-in-hand with increased age, also increases blood clot risks. One of the things you can do to help prevent blood clots is make regular exercise a part of your routine, especially as you age. No matter what you choose to do, staying active helps reduce your risk for life-threatening blood clots.
