Recently a post did the rounds on Twitter, claiming that people who play tennis live on average 9.7 years longer than people who play other sports.
The figure comes from a recent analysis of people's exercise habits in Denmark.

We speak to medical statistician Adam Jacobs, to understand what the study in question can, and cannot, say for certain.
