Deaths potentially averted by small changes in physical activity and sedentary time: an individual participant data meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies
Small and realistic increases in MVPA of 5 min/day might prevent up to 6% of all deaths
in a high-risk approach and 10% of all deaths in population-based approach. Reducing
sedentary time by 30 min/da...
