Role of inactivity in chronic diseases (2017)

evolutionary insight and pathophysiological mechanisms

Overall, physical inactivity is an underappreciated cause of almost all chronic diseases/conditions, whose outcome increases mortality and decreases healthspan. Remarkably, physical inactivity speeds biological aging, and physical inactivity gene identification will be a future challenge to help decrease inactivity-induced chronic disease and improve the health and well-being of our society.
