Non-vigorous physical activity and all-cause mortality: systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies
International Journal of Epidemiology, 07/16/2010 Evidence Based Medicine
Woodcock J et al. – The authors found that 2.5 h/week (equivalent to 30 min daily of moderate intensity activity on 5 days a week) compared with no activity was associated with a reduction in mortality risk of 19%, while 7 h/week of moderate activity compared with no activity reduced the mortality risk by 24%.
The authors found a smaller effect in studies that looked at walking alone. Being physically active reduces the risk of all–cause mortality. The largest benefit was found from moving from no activity to low levels of activity, but even at high levels of activity benefits accrue from additional activity.

So if I can do 28 hours of moderate activity a week can I reduce my mortality risk by 96%
ReplyDeleteKen, Yes. If you do 40 hours of moderate activity a week you will reverse the aging process and start to get younger. Kinda like Benjamin Button.
