The effects of physical inactivity on other risk factors for chronic disease: A systematic review of reviews.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study updated methods for attributing burden to physical inactivity, to include all conditions from fasting plasma glucose (FPG) due to physical inactivity. However, physical inactivity influences several additional GBD risk factors that also effect other diseases. This study estimated effects of physical activity on high blood pressure (hypertension), FPG (as diabetes), osteoporosis, and LDL-cholesterol, to enable mediation effects modelling.

Methods

MEDLINE, ProQuest Central, Scopus, EMBASE, SPORTDiscus, and Cochrane Library databases were searched from inception to 29 June 2024 for systematic reviews reporting total physical activity levels as an exposure and at least one of the above GBD risk factors or BMI as outcomes.<
