Rising mortality due to lack of physical activity-study

According to a new study published in The Lancet Global Health, at least 3.9 million people worldwide die prematurely each year. Because of illness or physical problems, they may not be able to live a full life. After all, why do so many people die prematurely?

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh in the UK, Dr. "It's important to take seriously the fact that poor lifestyles, lack of physical activity, poor diet, alcohol, and smoking are detrimental to health," said Paul Kelly.

Their study found that people who were physically active had a lower mortality rate. The study team evaluated previously published data from 168 countries. The data showed that people who were physically active had a lower risk of dying prematurely. The number of premature deaths among physically active people was on average 15 percent lower. Women made up 14 percent and men 16 percent.

This means that physical activity or exercise saves about 3.9 percent or 3.9 million lives each year.

The findings show that the average was 18 percent for low-income countries and 14 percent for high-income countries. Tessa Strain, a study researcher at the University of Cambridge in the UK, said: "Whether it's sports or the gym, it's fast walking. This will help prevent premature deaths. '

The World Health Organization recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity a year. Or 75 minutes of vigorous-intense physical activity is recommended.
