Effect of physical inactivity on major non-communicable diseases worldwide: an analysis of burden of disease and life expectancy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the effect of physical inactivity on these major non-communicable diseases by estimating how much disease could be averted if inactive people were to become active and to estimate gain in life expectancy at the population level.

TL;DR: New WHO 2020 guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour reaffirm messages that some physical activity is better than none, that more physical Activity is better for optimal health outcomes and provide a new recommendation on reducing sedentary behaviours.
Journal ArticleDOI
Waist circumference and not body mass index explains obesity-related health risk
TL;DR: WC, and not BMI, explains obesity-related health risk; for a given WC value, overweight and obese persons and normal-weight persons have comparable health risks, however, when WC is dichotomized as normal or high, BMI remains a significant predictor of health risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sitting time and mortality from all causes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
TL;DR: These data demonstrate a dose-response association between sitting time and mortality from all causes and CVD, independent of leisure time physical activity and physicians should discourage sitting for extended periods.
