The global burden of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes attributable to low physical activity, 1990–2019: an analysis from the global burden of disease study

Abstract

Interventions targeting LPA are warranted in controlling the burden of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. Countries should adapt strategies to their local contexts, considering the sex and age differences among their populations. The 25-44 age group should be given special attention to prevent the disease burden from worsening among younger people.
