A member asked:
Are jujitsu artists more or less prone when it comes to contracting diseases?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A bit hard to say...: A practitioner of jujitsu or any consistent exercise program will be better conditioned and more likely to have better nutritional status thus maintaining a healthier status. As to being more/less prone to contracting diseases - there's not any evidenced based research that shows an advantage either way. Diseases have more than environment that influence their presence, including genetics.
