Study: Activity Lowers Early Death Risk by 40%

News summary

A comprehensive global study analyzing data from over 8 million people across 85 studies, and published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found that consistent physical activity throughout adulthood can reduce early death risk by 30-40%, especially from heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Those who become active later in life can still lower their risk by 20-25%, and switching from inactivity to activity reduces premature death risk by 22%. Even simple activities like brisk walking or household chores contribute to longevity. The World Health Organization recommends adults get 150–300 minutes of moderate or 75–150 minutes of vigorous activity weekly. Experts note that any physical activity is beneficial, with the greatest gains from sustained activity and benefits persisting for years. The findings underscore the importance of promoting attainable physical activity at any age.
